Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "We need to score"

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal insists that his side must start scoring goals after being held to a 0-0 draw by West Ham United.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has suggested that his side must start scoring goals after being held to a 0-0 draw by West Ham United this afternoon.

The Red Devils drew a blank for the sixth game of the season in all competitions - with United having scored just 20 Premier League goals all season - and Van Gaal admits that he is concerned about his side's shyness in front of the net.

"I think that we have seen a very good match, with a very good organised West Ham United, and nevertheless we have created chances," Van Gaal told Sky Sports News. "We need to score, we must score, but we didn't score - and that's our problem.

"I think that we can be very pleased with the second half of Manchester United, also the first quarter of the match we were very dominant and created chances. But we have to finish, because that is football - you have to score goals, otherwise you cannot win.

"The word is composure, but you need also luck. But you cannot say every time that we have to finish and so on. But the most important thing is that we are dominant, we are creating chances, and the other aspect that we have to improve a lot - we don't score."

Manchester United - who are currently fourth in the table - will take on Bournemouth in their next Premier League clash, after taking on Wolfsburg in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.
