Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is demanding more from his players after a first away win of the season at Arsenal.
A Kieran Gibbs own goal and a late effort from skipper Wayne Rooney handed United their first victory on the road in over seven months, with Arsenal only able to manage a consolation through substitute Olivier Giroud.
"I was not pleased with the way we have played in the first half," van Gaal said when asked if this was his best win as United boss to date.
"I don't think so. But it was an away game against a top team and we have won. Okay, then I can say yes. It's also the right moment to win this game.
"I have to say the first 35 minutes we gave the ball away so easily that it's not possible for a top team. Because of that, Arsenal created a lot of chances.
"Fortunately we have a very good goalkeeper and after the first 35 minutes you saw that we are coming back in the game and created a few possibilities."
"I told them at half-time that when we keep the ball, when we show confidence, then we shall create many chances.
"We created at least three big chances. Di Maria could finish the game also.
"But also two times the pass was easy to give to Di Maria and Wayne Rooney and the pass was not right.
"That was not a difficult pass in my opinion so we have to improve that. I am very happy, of course."
