Despite having problems with their defence, Manchester United recorded their first win after four matches as they struggled to a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Manager Louis van Gaal has expressed that in a bid to have a place in the top four position of the EPL, his side are seeking results over performance.
“We have to ensure we are in a position where we can be in contention for the first four positions,” said Van Gaal.
“Of course, we need to raise our level. It’s a matter of time, but also of getting over a lot of injuries.”
Man United have been hit by serious injury problems lately and Van Gaal admitted that this has marred the flexibility in choosing players.
“When you have nine injuries and also a suspended player, then it is always more difficult, because I cannot select a lot of players
“I’ve never had so many injuries in my career. It’s crazy, but it’s what I have to deal with.
“It’s a big challenge but I knew that in advance. Otherwise I could have chosen another club.”
