Martial moved from Monaco to Old Trafford in a deal reported to be worth as much as €80 million - a fee Van Gaal dubbed "ridiculous" - on transfer deadline day.
Speaking to at an event for United's executive season-ticket holders on Wednesday, the Dutchman described the money spent on the 19-year-old as evidence of "the crazy world we are in".
"I have not bought Martial for me, I have bought him for the next manager of Manchester United," Van Gaal said.
Referencing Giggs, he added: "I feel I am introducing the next manager of Manchester United."
