Louis van Gaal confident of Manchester United progression

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal claims that his side have the ability to reach the last eight of the Europa League, even if they concede a third against Liverpool.

Louis van Gaal has insisted that Manchester United have the attacking firepower to overcome arch-rivals Liverpool in Thursday's Europa League showdown.

The Red Devils trail 2-0 heading into the last-16 tie after a poor showing at Anfield last week, providing another low point in Van Gaal's Old Trafford reign to date.

Despite the prospect of potentially needing four goals to progress should Liverpool find the net, the Dutchman has full confidence in his side getting the job done on home soil.

"We don't want to concede a goal. We are thinking only of making goals," Sky Sports News quotes him as saying. "We have done that against Midtjylland in the last round. We don't want to concede, but if we do, we can score four.

"We have to beat them with 2-0, not with 3-0 because we can do that also in extra time. Then we have to beat them to get to the next round. But first, two-zero."

A Daniel Sturridge penalty and second-half Roberto Firmino strike helped Liverpool to last week's first-leg win on Merseyside.
