“Manchester United” coach Louis van Gaal insists that his team does not need a new forward, despite yesterday's 0-0 draw against “Newcastle United”.
“The Red Devils” struggled to break through the defense led by Steve McClaren, which was able to withstand the host's attacks.
“Manchester United” this summer have been linked with a number of attacking players, such as Gareth Bale or Sadio Mane. At the moment, L. van Gaal has three forwards in his lineup - captain Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez, and James Wilson.
“No, because three times this season we were the best team on the field” - when asked if “Manchester United” needs to spend more money and acquire a new attacking leader, the team's coach responded.
“I care about dominating against our opponents. That was the case against "Newcastle", against “Aston Villa”, and against “Brugge”.
“I am satisfied with the performance, not the result, and these are different things.”
Main “Manchester United” forward W. Rooney has recently been criticized for his form, but against “Newcastle” he scored a goal that controversially was not counted. L. van Gaal was not happy with the referees' decision.
“Wayne scored, but the goal was not counted” - Van Gaal expressed his frustration.
“The situation was very questionable and in such cases, the sideline referee should not raise the flag.”
