Louis van Gaal admits Manchester United need to improve their attacking play if they are to challenge for the Premier League title next season.
United have struggled in front of goal this campaign and have scored just 46 goals in the league all season.
The Red Devils look set to beat their previous worst Premier League haul of 58 goals - set during the 2004/05 season.
Van Gaal's future at Old Trafford remains uncertain, as Jose Mourinho continues to be linked with managerial role at United.
However, the 64 year-old Dutchman is planning for life as manager next season and says he will look to assess his side's failings at the end of the current campaign.
"I am always evaluating and always adapting to the situation where we stand for," said the Dutchman, speaking at his press conference ahead of his side's final Premier League match against Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday.
"It's always the same, you have to evaluate yourself but also your staff and players, and then with that kind of people you have to communicate and listen to each other and that I'm doing. That shall be done also next season.
"The principles are always the same, except when one of the members of my staff or players or board members can convince me of other arguments.
I can say that we have to improve still. I don't think we have to improve defensive organisation too much, now we have to score more in our attacking way.
"I can say that we have to improve still. I don't think we have to improve defensive organisation too much, now we have to score more in our attacking way.
"That is also what I have said before this season - we need creative fast players in attack. We have to change that, and that is very important."
United face Bournemouth on Sunday knowing that even a victory might not be enough to secure Champions League football next season.
The Red Devils are two points behind rivals Manchester City, who travel to Swansea on the final day. However, Van Gaal remains confident in his side's chances of finishing in the top four.
"Last year we were also in that situation and in the end we qualified," he said.
