Louis van Gaal isn’t happy with Bastian Schweinsteiger’s form

Van Gaal has expressed his disappointment with his forwards’ after they squandered numerous opportunities during the clash with the Hammers on Saturday, stating that other strikers would have done better.

“When you are creating chances you shall finish those kind of chances”, said the 64-year-old Dutchman.

“But I am convinced he shall continue with his performances and also that he will score at the right moments again”.

The German ace will look to help Wolfsburg progress to the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time by beating Manchester United tomorrow night.

United have scored just one goal in drawing their their last three games, including a goalless draw at home to Eindhoven a fortnight ago which means they must win in Wolfsburg to be sure of reaching the last 16 in Europe.

Louis van Gaal says Manchester United’s inability to score goals is a problem as they slipped to their sixth 0-0 draw of the season in all competitions.

“I always gave my clubs structure, and I think structure is very important in a club, but also in a company, everywhere”. “[In] the Champions League, you could be out and that is bad for everybody, for the club, for the players and for the manager”. You have to score. If United draw and PSV also draw then United would still end up in the Europa League as head-to-head records trump goal difference.

The Red Devils have beaten CSKA Moscow and Wolfsburg in the Champions League this season, as well as stalemates with PSV and the Russian Federation side. “I know that. But you can not think too much about that part”, he said.

“We can beat anyone on our day, but normally we are not good enough to win the Champions League, but we shall try to do everything”.

However, Van Gaal believes he should be contributing more. I didn’t expect that.

But Schurrle – who joined Wolfsburg from Chelsea in February – said: “It’s an extremely handsome game and that’s why we’re extremely motivated”.

Juan Mata admits that Manchester United are failing at “the most important thing” in football.
