"It's playing with great energy, determination, will to win - which I think is really important. "If they hadn't had all these draws I think they would be there challenging Chelsea.That's the unfortunate part and he's going to have to live with that, but I think he'll be inspired by the progress of the team." Ferguson, who remains a director at United, says the improvement could easily be reflected in a higher league position if not for some bad luck."I think he's done really well," he said. "It's like a player coming to United, it's not easy. It's not easy to come to United and transform the club's fortunes from my time. It's not easy. "I think Louis van Gaal did a good job and I think Jose's doing a great job."He's got to grips with the club, you can see that, and the team's playing really well, and he's very unlucky because he's had six draws I think, 1-1 draws, and every game he's battered that team."</blockquote>
