  • Happy with his options: Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal.

    Louis van Gaal admits he may not sign any more new players because of Manchester United's impressive pre-season form.

    United go into their friendly against Real Madrid on Saturday having won all three of their matches on tour. The victories against the Los Angeles Galaxy, Roma and Inter Milan, have given the new United boss confidence about his upcoming debut season at Old Trafford.

    The Dutchman has been linked with a host of new signings, including Kevin Strootman, Thomas Vermaelen and Mats Hummels.

    But Van Gaal has been so impressed with what he has seen from his squad that he says he may not need any reinforcements.

    "We still have a month to go (before the transfer window shuts) and we are winning. Maybe we don't need other players," the United manager told a press conference at the Michigan Stadium. "First I want to see the players who I have and give them an honest chance."

    A record attendance of at least 109,000 is expected for the game, which is part of the International Champions Cup.

    Should United win, they will qualify for Monday's final in Miami, where they are likely to play either Manchester City or Liverpool for a prize of one million US dollars (£600,000).
