I'm glad he has admitted to this, to build a winning football team, stability in formation and at least knowing your best first eleven is very important, hopefully he can fix that for Man Utd Asap. Continue for what he said.
"It's too much [change to formation] I think, I agree," he told reporters. "But I'm looking for the balance and when you see the last four matches, we have had more balance because we haven't conceded many goals.
"Nevertheless, we don't score so much. With the other system, we scored a lot of goals."
The most recent change in system has seen Angel Di Maria's influence wane, with the €75m buy from Real Madrid struggling to have the same impact as when he scored three goals in his first four appearances for the club.
And Van Gaal, who withdrew the Argentine against Crystal Palace, admits his determination to run with the ball upset the balance of the side on Saturday.
"He has played today in a very small space and he is a dribbler but sometimes you cannot dribble. You have to make it a pass game, and Di Maria is not a player who wants to give a pass every time he gets the ball.
"But in this case we needed that and not dribbles. Therefore he lost the ball a lot of times and that was not good for the balance of the team.
"Of course, we need to raise our level. It’s a matter of time but it’s also a matter of getting over a lot of injuries."
