Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has refused to talk about the club's chances of winning the 2015-16 English Premier League (EPL) title, despite a 3-0 win over Sunderland at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The Dutchman believes it is too early to talk about securing the title under his watch for the first time, as it is extremely difficult to maintain consistency in the league. He said that he would be in a better position to talk about title aspirations in May 2016, Sport24 reported.
Van Gaal, however, said United could win against any team if they continue to perform well.
Speaking on his side's next match with Arsenal, the 64-year-old admitted that the latter is the most difficult team to beat, but added that it is not impossible to win against them.
United is currently at top spot in Premier League table, having 16 points from seven games played.
United will lock horns with Arsenal on October 4 at Emirates Stadium.
