MANCHESTER UNITED BOSS Louis van Gaal believes his side still need to improve after their 3-0 victory over Liverpool — but is happy that the win has pleased his wife.
United sealed the victory with goals from Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Robin van Persie, while David de Gea thwarted Raheem Sterling and substitute Mario Balotelli.

But despite acknowledging the importance of beating bitter rivals Liverpool, Van Gaal insisted there is still plenty of work to be done.
“We have to improve but we are very pleased because we know how important it is to win against Liverpool,” Van Gaal told reporters. “Our cook is happy, my wife is happy so I am happy.”
United are third in the Premier League table, eight points behind leaders Chelsea, but Van Gaal refused to discuss title talk after the game.
“I think the most important match is the next match and we have to see match by match,” he said.
“Of course we are winning six matches in a row [and it] is fantastic but we have to improve our play style. I say that every week.”
