Louis van Gaal: United lucked the win over Southampton

Louis van Gaal says the United were only lucky to put Southampton into 2-1 misery in Monday's match at St. Mary. Gaal admitted the Saints had a balanced performance that clearly contrasted their visitors' loose play, which was only made up for by goalkeeper David de Gea's strong performance. He claimed his team played chicken on the ball, with the first goal a gift and the second a sheer dumb act on the part of Southampton's skipper. "Southampton were the better team, we were the lucky team," Van Gaal said. Van Persie corroborated his boss' claim that United was fortunate to earn the three points.
