Former Holland and Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar says the difference between his former club and league leaders Chelsea this season was down to their summer striker acquisitions.

Van der Sar, who worked with United boss Louis Van Gaal with the Dutch national side at last summer’s World Cup told the Mirror: Both Louis and Jose invested in new players last summer, and both of them bought a striker.

“Mourinho bought Diego Costa and Van Gaal got Falcao – and both players went to England with massive reputations.

“But there has been one big difference. Mourinho’s striker started scoring goals from day one; Louis’ striker didn’t.

“Louis is a great manager. But the advantage Mourinho had was that he already knew what the Premier League is all about.”
