Manchester - Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal agrees with experts who predict his side should be challenging for the Premier League title in 12 months.
A strong second half to this campaign has lifted Van Gaal's team to the brink of a top-four finish and a place in the Champions League next year -- a far cry from the disappointment of last season under David Moyes when they finished seventh.
Other managers, including West Bromwich Albion's Tony Pulis, have predicted that United will be competing even higher up the league table next season, an analysis with which the Dutchman agrees.
