London: Louis Van Gaal has told Manchester United fans that 2015 will be a year to remember for all the right reasons.
As United heads into the New Year, their supporters will reflect on a roller-coaster 12-month period that has seen them hit more lows than highs, reports dailymail.co.uk.
For the first time in 28 years, the club fired their manager. David Moyes' six-year contract was ripped up after just 10 months and United went on to finish seventh in the Barclays Premier League.
The board turned to Van Gaal to revive the club's fortunes, and the early signs were not good as United won just one of their opening six games and crashed out of the Capital One Cup to Sky Bet League One side MK Dons.
The Dutchman has slowly started turning things round though and at the half way stage United are third in the table following a run of seven wins and two draws in their last nine matches.
"We are improving every week and we shall be better in 2015. Just watch," the United manager said on Wednesday.
"We are still in a process. I think the players understand the philosophy, and that's why we are improving, but we can improve more when we have all the players available," he added.
Van Gaal strives for perfection, so he is not happy with United's current plight and is hoping there will be a better year ahead for the club's fans.
"I think the fans were fantastic because we were in a moment with 10 matches and 13 points - that is not good, I think more weak than good. They have supported us is because of the fighting spirit of my team," he said.
"We were not always ahead in matches but they have fought to the end and a lot of times with good success, so I think we can be satisfied about the points now - 36. We are in our goal, I think. What I have already said, we are improving every week. We can see 2015 with open eyes," he concluded.
