Louis van Gaal: 'Manchester United will not panic buy'

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal insists that he will not buy for the sake of buying following the 2-1 defeat at Swansea.

Louis van Gaal has said that Manchester United's 2-1 defeat at Swansea City tonight will not prompt him to panic buy in the remaining days of the transfer window.

Goals in the space of five second-half minutes from Andre Ayew and Bafetimbi Gomis flipped the game on its head following Juan Mata's 48th-minute opener, with United suffering their first Premier League defeat of the season.

Having missed out on signing Pedro and Nicolas Otamendi last week, the Red Devils are expected to be active in the final two days of the window, but Van Gaal insists that the defeat in Wales has not strengthened his desire for reinforcements.

"No, it doesn't have any effect," he told Sky Sports News.

"When you are scouting players you know already, in advance, more than a month or two months, which players you can buy or not so it's not in the last moment that we are in panic.

"When you see the game I think we were the dominant team but you have to score more and you don't have to concede the goals."

United have signed five players so far, with Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Morgan Schneiderlin and Sergio Romero all joining the club.
