Louis van Gaal can lead Man Utd to title after 'huge' Liverpool win, claims manager
BRENDAN RODGERS believes Manchester United have proved they have the ability to win the Premier League.
Rodgers has defended his former Premier League rival Louis van Gaal
The 42-year-old was dismissed as Liverpool boss after a difficult start to the season.
And after his replacement Jurgen Klopp saw United squeeze past the Reds at Anfield on Sunday, Rodgers thinks Louis van Gaal's side are well-set for a run at the league title.
"If any team in the second part of the season can put a run together then they'll feel that they can win," Rodgers told Sky Sports.
"When you're at the big clubs it's not just about the winning, it's about the style in which you play.
"Obviously that's been the criticism that's been levelled at him.
"But in terms of management I think he's a top-class manager and has been for many years."
