Louis van Gaal faces his biggest match to date as Manchester United manager on Tuesday: a Champions League tie in Wolfsburg. Win and United will finish top of their group and qualify for the round of 16. Draw or lose and they could go out. Such tension and excitement is exactly why fans wanted to get back into Europe's top competition.
The understanding from United is that the Premier League is the club's main priority -- at least for the next few seasons. This is based on the increasingg commercial might of England's top flight, as well as a realism that United aren't close to the best teams in Europe and that Van Gaal still has much to do to build a great side.
