The Manchester United boss is not concerned by his side's inability to create chances after only managing three efforts on target in their two opening Premier League fixtures
Louis van Gaal insists he is "not bothered" by Manchester United's lack of efforts at goal following Friday's narrow 1-0 win over Aston Villa.
Adnan Januzaj's goal was enough for the Red Devils to secure a slender victory over Tim Sherwood's side at Villa Park, with the side largely struggling to break their hosts down.
Having recorded just one shot on target in the 1-0 victory over Tottenham on the opening day, United have now tested the opposition goalkeeper just three times in 180 minutes, but Van Gaal maintains that he is unworried by such statistics.
He told Sky Sports: "No. That does not bother me. Because you have to score one more than your opponent. That's the result. We don't give many chances away. Every game we have more chances than the opponent and that's the game.
[But it's a better start than last season?] "Yes but of course we shall do it better than last year because that was very bad. That was not so difficult to do it better. It's not easy, Tottenham is a very good team and this is an away game. It's always difficult in England to win away games. So I'm very happy."
United face Club Brugge in a Champions League play-off next week before hosting Newcastle in the Premier League.
