Louis van Gaal has stated that he is "very happy" with Manchester United's start to the season after their victory at Aston Villa.
The Red Devils have had only three shots on target in their first two Premier League games this term, but those efforts have yielded six points.
However, despite the nature of their hard-fought victories over Tottenham Hotspur and Villa, Van Gaal has claimed that United are better off than they were at the beginning of the previous campaign.
He told Sky Sports News: "The start to the season is better than last year but that is not so difficult. We had one point at this stage and now we have six, so I am very happy.
"There is still a long way to go. You cannot expect it with only four weeks preparation. You need more matches to come in the form I think we can show."
United now face Club Brugge in the first leg of their Champions League qualifier on Tuesday.
