Focused Reds have work to do

LOUIS van Gaal is sure there will be no complacency from his Manchester United players when they take on Club Brugge tonight.
United are overwhelming favourites to return to the Champions League group stages having won the first leg of their play–off last week 3–1.
Van Gaal has told his players to be wary of Preud’homme’s team, who came from 2–1 down to beat Panathinaikos 4–2 over two legs in the previous qualifying round.
“I don’t think my players shall take it easy” the United manager said.
A return to the group stages after a one–year hiatus would please the club’s accountants, their sponsors, the board, the fans, and the manager, who won the competition 20 years ago with Ajax.
