Louis van Gaal is confident Manchester United can reach the Champions League final if they have some luck along the way.
United face Wolfsburg today.
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal believes his side will have to beat Wolfsburg to have a realistic chance of progressing in the Champions League.
United had little trouble dispatching Club Brugge in the play-offs to qualify for the tournament, but their opening Group B game ended in a 2-1 defeat away to PSV Eindhoven.
The Dutchman, who lifted the trophy with Ajax 20 years ago, is optimistic United can get their first win in this season's competition at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
"I think in the Champions League, you need to win all your home matches otherwise it shall be very difficult," said Van Gaal.
"It is important we shall win."
United, who moved to the top of the Premier League on Saturday, are favourites to beat Wolfsburg, but Van Gaal is yet to bring the enterprising football the
club's fans desire.
