Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has called on his side to shrug off the disappointment caused by the Champions League humiliation and push for victory in the Premier League.

The Dutchman found himself on the receiving end of critics after his side made an early exit from the Champions League following a 3-2 defeat at Wolfsburg.

The pressure is mounting on the Old Trafford club to deliver as they are without a win in their last four matches in all competitions.

Van Gaal said that his side need to use their tools to lift them up, insisting that they have enough to fight especially during the Premier League, FA Cup and also the Europa League, Sport24 reported.

United are only three points behind pace setters Leicester and will next take on Bournemouth on Saturday.
