Man Utd boss Van Gaal pleased to overcome Leicester

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal was pleased with their 3-1 win over Leicester City.

Robin van Persie put the hosts ahead with a sublime finish and Radamel Falcao added his fourth goal for the club before Wes Morgan's own goal wrapped up the win before half-time.

Marcin Wasilewski grabbed a consolation goal for the visitors towards the end of the match, but it was not enough to secure another famous comeback from the Barclays Premier League's bottom club.

"I am very pleased," Van Gaal told MUTV.

"We lost the away match and we have taken revenge of that and we have dominated the game, especially in the first half."
