Manchester United Boss Van Gaal: I Am Not That Concerned About Football Transfers; Coach Unaffected By Low Activity On Football Market, 'I Believe In My Team'

Tags

Louis van Gaal shows no sign of worry for his team as he says that he is pleased with his players' performance so much, that the transfer market is just another sports lingo.

He has said that new replacements may not even be necessary of the moment, as they did well in the pre- season friendlies.

"I'm a coach who always wants to win and Manchester United are a team who are used to winning."

"I want to see the players I have in the team first to give them an honest chance.

"We have got a month to go still, and we are winning everything - maybe we don't need other players.

"The tour is a burden for my wife, but not for me. I'm anxious to win," he said.

It can be remembered that midfielder Arturo Vidal has left Man Utd for Juventus. Nevertheless, the Red Devils have won every friendly this pre- season.

"I think the commercial aspect is also important, but we are playing some of the best teams in Europe, which is a challenge for us and reason enough to play here.

"We have an accumulation of tiredness from travelling, training and matches, so I have to think about the line-up and how many players I should change. I want to play with our stronger line-up for 60 minutes."

The 62-year-old also stressed he would stick to his guns regarding United's tactical change to a 3-5-2, which he used with Netherlands at the World Cup this summer, despite three centre-backs being an unfamiliar sight at Old Trafford.

"From the first moment that I arrived in Manchester I have played with five defenders. Maybe there comes a time where I have to play with four defenders but, for now, all my training sessions are designed for a five defender system."
