Louis van Gaal was fairly happy with the performance of his Manchester United side on Wednesday.
Despite losing 2-0 to French champions Paris Saint-Germain in the final match of the pre-season tour of the USA, van Gaal felt his Red Devils side put on a good show in Chicago only to come up short due to first-half goals from Blaise Matuidi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"I am really satisfied about the performance," the boss told reporters.
"Yeah, we lose, but maybe that is also good because last year we won everything [on tour] and then we lost the first match in the Premier League. Now the sequence is a little bit different. But I am not superstitious.
"In the first half we created more chances than Paris Saint-Germain. They only created chances with errors, personal errors, and you cannot fight against personal errors when you are playing at the top level. They can score out of these kinds of errors, and they can finish the game. You have seen in the second half when they played the ball wide and back, rather than up front. A top team can do that.
"But I have to say I have seen a lot of very good things from my team. So in the pre-season it is more about the performance than the result. I was rather satisfied. It is better when you win, of course. Against Barcelona, we could have been 2-0 down and we scored the first goal. Between top clubs, it is who scores the first goal. Then you have a great possibility to win the game."
