Louis van Gaal: 'Arsenal have a better team than Chelsea'

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal feels that Arsenal have a more talented team than Chelsea, but insists that the Premier League champions are more ruthless.

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has claimed that Arsenal have a better team than Chelsea, but believes that the Blues' clinical edge has guided them to the Premier League title.

The Dutchman has admitted that he is impressed with the amount of quality that Arsene Wenger has at his disposal, although he has conceded that he would rather have a team with a ruthless instinct like the top-flight champions.

Van Gaal told reporters: "I have not given the team a winning mentality yet because we are not champions and I think that is a quality of the champions.

"We have improved lot, but we have to learn to do what Chelsea have done in the way they can play and finish the games – that is the big difference now between us and them.

"I think Arsenal maybe have a better team but they cannot finish off opponents like Chelsea. That is also about talent and experience like John Terry and Gary Cahill. That is the difference."

United take on Arsenal in their final home Premier League game of the season on Sunday.
