Van Gaal eyeing new strikers to bolster flagging Manchester United
Van Gaal’s team, who have only scored 10 times in their last 14 fixtures, have been criticised for being too cautious, but the Dutchman believes their 0-0 draw against Chelsea shows they do gamble on committing men forward.

Anthony Martial, who had put United ahead in the 47th minute, crossed low and Rooney glanced in a finish with his heel to become the club’s outright second-highest scorer with 238 goals.
“We were the dominating team and that is also the risky way of playing football”, he told MUTV. Most important are the players because they have to perform. You can say, “Yes, but you cannot change any more”, and maybe you are right.
Van Gaal has been linked with a number of forwards, including Sadio Mane, Edinson Cavani and Yoshinori Muto, but the 64-year-old was reluctant to say he would spend big on a forward in the window. “But we also need a little bit of luck”, Van Gaal was quoted as saying by goal.com.
The manager thought his players gave their all for him on Saturday.
“The problem can be solved with money but also on the training pitch”. You want strikers to be scoring goals. “It’s not necessarily the strikers to blame for that as we need to produce better quality service for the frontmen”.
“That is the story of Hernandez, for example”.
“We were there in the first position in the league but then within a month it can be very different”, he said.
Although a key player at Madrid, James is said to be unhappy at the Santiago Bernabeu due to the tactics and training methods of manager Rafael Benitez and as a result, the Colombian superstar has been widely tipped to leave the Spanish giants in January.
United start 2016 in sixth position, some nine points behind leaders Arsenal, but Jones believes the Premier League is so haphazard in nature this year that he and his team-mates can still top the table come the end of May. “But I thought it was a great team performance – everyone from the back to the front worked as a team and we deserved the three points”.
“We need to win because we want to be at the end at the top of the league and not in the middle”. That is our aim. “We needed that”, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said of Cech.
