News » in an MLS Cup and it would be something I would

It has been an honour to manage such a magnificent club as Manchester United FC, and in doing so, I have fulfilled a long-held ambition. I am immensely proud to have helped United win the FA Cup for the 12th time in the clubs history. I have been privileged during my management career to have won 20 trophies but winning the FA Cup, which is steeped in so much history, will always be one of the most special achievements of my career. Van Gaal sacked by United Louis van Gaal has been sacked as manager of Man Utd I am very disappointed to be unable to complete our intended three-year plan. I believe that the foundations are firmly in place to enable the club to move forward and achieve even greater success. I hope that winning the FA Cup will give the club a platform to build upon next season to restore the success that this passionate set of fans desire.Having managed in Holland, Spain and Germany, I had always hoped for the opportunity to manage in English football and be part of English culture. Both of these experiences have lived up to expectations and been fantastic. Van Gaals last game in charge was their FA Cup final win over Crystal Palace on Saturday I thank my players and wish them well for next season. It has been a pleasure to work with them and it has been particularly rewarding to see so many young players take their chance to break into the first team and excel. I look forward to watching the continued development of these young players next season.Thank you to the owners and board of Manchester United for giving me the opportunity to manage this great club.

The United States international started out at New England Revolution in 2004, before spending six years in the Premier League with Fulham and Tottenham.He returned to his home country in August 2013 to join Seattle Sounders, and believes the MLS has come a long way since his first spell in the league. There are more soccer specific stadiums, there are more franchises, bigger player contracts, bigger names and just better quality in the league, Dempsey told Sky Sports.The attendances have also improved. In Seattle we get 44,000 for every home game - thats pretty remarkable. Growing up as a kid in Texas, I never thought Id see the day that I was playing in packed stadiums in the US.Its definitely come a long way and hopefully it can keep going in that direction. Dempsey joined Seattle Sounders in August 2013, scoring 26 goals in 55 appearances for the club so far Football - or soccer - was catapulted into the American spotlight with the USAs impressive performance at the 2014 World Cup, where they were knocked out on penalties by Belgium in the last 16.Dempsey said: People can understand the sport a little bit better. I think having major competitions and the US team doing better in the World Cup brings fans to the TVs and to the bars to watch the games.Once you get around that atmosphere and watch the game you start getting interested, thats whats propelled the game onto the major networks which allows anyone to watch. Thats what grows the game. The more games that are shown on Sky Sports and having more players that played in the Premier League has attracted more people to watch. I think they can see that the quality is growing and hopefully it will continue to get better and better. Dempsey captained the US mens team at the 2014 World Cup Despite the growing popularity of the MLS, there are still only a small number of American players who have made the move to the Premier League - with Landon Donovan, Tim Howard and Brad Friedel a few of the names.But Dempsey believes his compatriots are good enough to compete in the English top flight and credits the MLS for giving him the opportunity to do so.The American players are good enough but you have to get in the right situation, the right coach to believe in you and you have to fit the system of play, he said.It is a grind and when you are going over [and] theres a lot more competition. If you start somewhere and are successful and then you move to another country you are starting from scratch. Seattle Sounders attract the most fans in the league For me, MLS gave me my opportunity to be a pro and to play under Steve Nicol and Paul Marriner, they taught me so much and gave me confidence.ddddddddddddThey gave me the opportunity to get regular first team action and thats what allowed me to break into the national team. Without breaking into the national team and playing in the World Cup, I might not have had the opportunity to go the Premier League.Seattle Sounders kick off their 2016 season against Sporting Kansas City on Sunday - midnight on Monday in the UK - and Dempsey is hoping previous titles can help them lift the MLS Cup.Weve got to be more consistent through the year. We had too many injuries last year and with the international call-ups for some of our players there was a little bit of a lull in the summer period. The 2016 MLS season kicks off this Sunday with Chicago Fire v New York City and Portland Timbers v Columbus Crew live on Sky Sports 1 from 7:05pm To win the MLS Cup I feel the trick is to have as high a seed as possible in the table because you get home advantage in the play-offs and having that advantage puts you in a better position to win.If we are consistent through the year to finish as high as possible in the table, well have a good opportunity to win MLS Cup.To win the cup would mean me coming back to the MLS paid off. I was brought here to try and help the club win an MLS Cup and it would be something I would be very proud of.Hopefully I have the opportunity to do that because we won the Supporters Shield and the US Open Cup. Now we have to win the MLS Cup. Thats the only thing we are missing.MLS returns to Sky Sports on Sunday March 6 when Chicago Fire face New York City FC from 7pm and Portland Timbers host Colombus.
