LOUIS VAN GAAL'S REACTION TO THE 0-0 DRAW WITH NEWCASTLE

On the result... "I think we can be satisfied about the performance but not about the result because we don’t reward ourselves. I think we have created a lot of chances and we were unlucky." On missed chances and whether there is quality missing... "It’s also luck. I think it was a great dribble by Chicharito after getting the ball. I think you also need luck in football and it’s not only what you say about quality. I think the quality in the third phase in the crossing positions, we didn’t do so good, we didn’t make the right choices. Also we can do better with the speed of the ball and, of course, we had open chances, alone with the goalkeeper, and we have to score there normally. But I think we were very unlucky. But we played fantastic as a team and we have fought until the end and that’s fantastic to see. I like this type of game, only the result was bad." On giving Schweinsteiger and Carrick minutes... "I’ve said already in advance that he [Bastian] should play 60 minutes. In the other matches, Michael Carrick played 60 minutes and now it was the other way around. I need to build up both. Michael Carrick last year was injured for a lot of matches and now he’s not and that’s a big benefit for the team. It’s the same for Bastian.” On a good start for the defence... "It’s a fantastic start [in terms of defending] and I think, also against Brugge, not one chance and then an unlucky goal so I’m very pleased with the clean sheets." On whether this result will change his thinking about transfers... "No, that I have said already because, as a fan, you have to see how we have played this match. The performance was good and the fans were always behind the players. It was a fantastic match to watch but we were unlucky. We have to score our chances and, in the next match, we shall score maybe a goal out of three chances and that is better. The performance today was better though." source-MUTV
