    Yes, he may have guided United to two wins out of two in the Premier League this season, but this matters.

    Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal says the "pressure is high" at Old Trafford.

    Van Gaal, who took charge in May 2014, is looking to guide United to a return to Europe's elite club competition for the first time since 2013-14.

    "You cannot say it is not any pressure because they are a good team," he said. "We have to show our quality."

    Victory over two legs against last season's pro-league runners up would earn United almost £9m.

    Once there, they would receive £710,000 for every win and £360,000 for every draw.

    The prize money just grows and grows from there and, missing out on any of the gravy train, is just simply unthinkable.

    There is no wonder a certain Dutchman is feeling the pressure.

    Hello and welcome to a live text commentary of a match many Manchester United fans would not have envisaged being involved in just a few seasons ago.

    A Champions League play-off against Belgian side Club Brugge to reach the lucrative group stages.

    The Red Devils have splashed the cash this summer and you can guarantee European failure will not be in their financial plans.

    The heat is on.

    Seventy. Million. Pounds.

    That is a conservative estimate of what Champions League glory could be worth to an English club this season.
