The Red Devils were beaten 2-1 by Swansea City on Sunday but the Dutchman says that the club will not sign players for the sake of it prior to Tuesday's transfer deadline
Louis van Gaal insists that Manchester United will not panic buy in the final two days of the transfer window despite their 2-1 defeat to Swansea City on Sunday.
United opened the scoring at the Liberty Stadium, with Juan Mata firing home following a Luke Shaw cross, though Garry Monk's side hit back in a five-minute period, with Andre Ayew levelling the scores before Bafetimbi Gomis won the game for the home side.
United have been heavily linked with a number of marquee players, including Thomas Muller and Neymar, in recent weeks, with the transfer deadline looming large.
Van Gaal, though, says that United will not change their transfer strategy after the defeat, and insists that his side dominated the game at the Liberty Stadium.
"No, it doesn't have any effect," he told Sky Sports. "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."
Javier Hernandez was left on the bench amid links with a move away from the club, while David De Gea was again omitted from the match day squad, but Van Gaal refused to comment on either player's future.
"No, because you are always asking me the same question and you know what my answer is," he replied when asked to issue an update on the pair.
