Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal says he has no regrets after signing for the Red Devils in the summer.
The Dutchman understands he is under massive pressure to deliver a trophy but is ready to succeed where David Moyes failed last season.
"No, I don't regret taking this job," van Gaal told Mirror.
"Yes, it is a massive job I have taken on at Manchester United. I realise that.
"And the situation is not worse than I thought - I knew what I would find on my plate."
Tottenham Hotspur were reportedly interested in signing the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager and van Gaal confirmed an offer was made.
"I could have opted for an easier job. If I had gone to Tottenham, the job would not have been as enormous as here at United.
"I could have easily gone to Spurs. But I chose the biggest challenge of all the jobs in football.
"And I really wanted to join the number one club in the country, not Tottenham.
"Financially, Tottenham was kind of as attractive as Man United. But, in my eyes, Man United is still the number one club in England, Tottenham really is not."
