Louis van Gaal on his sides 3-0 victory over Liverpool last weekend:
“I don’t think it was a great surprise that we won against Liverpool, neither for the players.”
Van Gaal on how he wants to see more performances like the one against Hull City:
“The game against Hull City was a good game. We dominated 90 minutes and I want to see more games like that. Now, there are too few games that we are dominating for 90 minutes. We have to wait and see.
“When you win six times in a row the confidence is rising, but I’m still looking for a game that is more close to the perfect game than we have given until now.”
Van Gaal on the injury to Angel Di Maria and whether he will return this weekend:
“Angel has trained this week with us. It’s always dependable on how I have to compare with other players because he’s not match fit after one week. What I’ve said about [Robin] van Persie and Falcao, I say also for Di Maria – it is no different. It is a procedure and he has to follow the procedure.
“Maybe I shall select him for the bench, or maybe not. I have to make my decision because we have one training [session] to go.”
Van Gaal on the away trip to Aston Villa this weekend:
“They haven’t lost so much. They draw, they win, and when they lose it’s always by a one-goal difference. It shall be very difficult.”
Van Gaal on achieving results vs putting in the performances:
“Of course, that [the results] are the main, important thing. I speak with Sir Alex Ferguson and he says, ‘No problem, you have won!” but, for me, the performance is also very important. When you perform well, you win more and that’s what I want to show to the fans. The players want to show that. The guarantee of wins is much bigger when we perform better.”
Van Gaal on David De Gea’s contract:
“No news, otherwise we would give that news. But first on MUTV – it is logical.”
Van Gaal on Radamel Falcao and whether he will make more appearances:
“He shows fitness in the training sessions, so maybe I shall select him for the bench or maybe I shall select him for the [starting] line-up. Wait and see.”
