Louis van Gaal still feeling the pressure

Manchester United may have one of the worst goalscoring records in the league but that does not mean Louis van Gaal will definitely be buying a striker this month.

Despite an encouraging performance in the 0-0 draw against Chelsea, Van Gaal is still under pressure to deliver a win when United host Swansea today.

The statistics make for uncomfortable reading for the Dutchman. United have not won in their last eight matches — their worst run for 26 years — and they have collected four points fewer than David Moyes had by this stage in his solitary season as United manager.
