Lack of goals a concern for Van Gaal

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal admits his side's lack of goals of late is a "big concern".
United, who are 15/2 to win the Premier League outright, were held to a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday as they failed to find the back of the net for the third consecutive game.
The Old Trafford outfit have drawn all three of their previous games, although they were dumped out of the Capital One Cup on penalties by Middlesbrough, and Van Gaal concedes they need to get back to winning ways.
"There's a big concern but I already said that after the match against Middlesbrough," Van Gaal is quoted as saying by the BBC.
"[In that match] we created many chances but did not finish.
"[Today] we didn't create so many chances so it's more difficult. When you don't keep the ball you can't create chances."
United take on CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Tuesday at Old Trafford and Van Gaal wants his side to end their barren run against the Russian outfit.
He added: "When I see the characters I don't think they doubt about that quality. It can change in one match and let it be against CSKA Moscow, because we need a victory."
United are 9/20 to beat CSKA or 10/1 to record a fourth successive 0-0 draw.
