Van Gaal: Wenger's longevity as good as a title

Arsene Wenger deserves to be hailed for his 19-year Arsenal reign rather than derided over a lack of league titles, Louis van Gaal says.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal believes Arsene Wenger's longevity at Arsenal is a sign of great success, despite the Frenchman failing to win the Premier League in over a decade.

"I think that he is doing great work," Van Gaal said. "When you can, like Sir Alex Ferguson, stay in a club for such a long time you have to be very good. Otherwise you shall not succeed.
