Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has insisted that his team need to begin producing results as they continue to hunt for their first competitive win under the Dutchman's regime.

The Red Devils, who acquired six new players in the summer transfer window, have recorded one defeat and two draws so far in the Premier League.

Ander Herrera, Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo, Angel di Maria, Daley Blind and Radamel Falcao were all recruited by the North-West outfit in the summer.

"The fans shall expect a new start of course, but we have to build up a new hierarchy and that always needs time," Van Gaal said in this afternoon's press conference.

"We've done very well in the transfer market. That's a big plus, and we have to produce results, starting against QPR."

Van Gaal will be without defender Phil Jones after he was ruled out for up to a month with a torn hamstring.
