LOUIS van Gaal admits Manchester United will find it difficult to qualify for the Champions League knock-out stages if they lose to Wolfsburg at Old Trafford tonight.

United had little trouble dispatching Club Brugge in the play–offs, but their first Group ‘B’ game ended in a disappointing 2–1 defeat at PSV.

"I think in the Champions League you need to win all your home matches otherwise it shall be very difficult," said Van Gaal, who lifted the trophy with Ajax 20 years ago. "It is important we win."

United may be top of the premier league and favourites to win tonight, but Van Gaal is yet to bring the enterprising football the club's fans desire.

But he insists the club is heading in the right direction and has no doubt he can win the league and Champions League during his time there.
