Man Utd boss Van Gaal: We should be doing better

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal concedes they laboured to victory over Burnley.

The manager revealed this week he wants his side to play with a higher ball speed, passing quicker, but there were few signs of such slick play.

"No," he answered, when asked if he had seen this from his players. "Because they pressed us and we lost the ball. Every second ball was to Burnley. We didn't keep the ball and so you cannot give the ball more speed. We have to do it but, when you lose the ball already with the first or second pass, you know that it's very difficult."
