Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has
admitted that he is growing frustrated with his side's
poor finishing.
Louis van Gaal has voiced his frustration with Manchester
United's poor finishing after they were dumped out of the
League Cup by Middlesbrough on Wednesday.
United had a number of chances to decide the match at Old
Trafford during regular time, but they failed to find the net as the
game went to penalties.
Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick and Ashley Young then missed
from the spot as Van Gaal's men lost 3-1 on spot-kicks and
crashed out in the round of 16.
"We have to solve this problem. We have to start finishing
chances," Van Gaal said at a news conference.
"We also had more chances than our opponents against
Manchester City, but you have to finish them. We now created
more than against City, but you have to score.
"We had a lot of players who could have scored, but they did
not do it. It is not just one player and that is a little bit
frustrating.
"We are out of the League Cup, so we are all disappointed. We
were really close and it is very disappointing to lose here. I am
pleased with the performance of some of my players, but I am
disappointed with others.
"You have to force a bit of luck. We were not lucky against
Manchester City and we were not lucky now. But you cannot
say each week that you were unlucky."
