LOUIS VAN GAAL is desperate to overturn Manchester United’s torrid form to avoid seeing his career at Old Trafford terminated prematurely.
United have not won any of their last five games and failed to qualify for the Champions League round of 16, leaving many questioning Van Gaal’s future at the club.
Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti and now Jose Mourinho, who was relieved of his duties as Chelsea manager on Thursday, have all been linked with the top job at Old Trafford.
“I don’t want to finish my career with the club sacking me,” Van Gaal told reporters.
“That would be a great disappointment for me to say goodbye to the football world by being fired.
“I think my honour is much more pressure for me than the pressure of the media and the fans.”
Still, the 64-year-old Van Gaal does not believe this is the most pressure he has been under in his managerial career, and feels he has enough stock to warrant the Old Trafford side sticking with him.
“What can I lose? If I lose the confidence of the fans, that would be very sad,” added the Dutchman. “But I have had a career that every starting trainer wants to have. I don’t think that the pressure is now the highest.
“When you start in your first job and the crowd is yelling every week for another coach and that happened to me in my first year at Ajax than that pressure compared to the guy I am now is much higher.”
“I have the full confidence of my board and players, that is what I feel. But we have to get results, we have to win. We know that, the players know that, I know that and members of staff know that.”
Van Gaal’s United take on Norwich City on Saturday hoping to end a run of consecutive defeats in all competitions.
You will be sacked make no mistake – clock is ticking.
More spoof from the premierships biggest spoofer..
I’d hate to see him sacked I like United under his management even more so than when Moyes was in charge
Oh you little troll..
Sorry LVG I believe in giving a guy a chance but United fans have lost confidence and the style of play inspires no one.
Hate to say it,but united won’t get Pep.
Another screw up
We will get Brendon Rodgers, everything we do there days is wrong
As far as I know he’s not included on the Christmas party list organised for next Tuesday ….. Bye bye van Gaal
The club canceled the players party.
Norwich win hes gone jose in then big time
All football managers careers end in failure.
Ferguson, Johan Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Shankly, Paisley…
To be fair 99% do end in failure though
But what have those guys have done since they retried?
In all fairness Fergie jumped ship code knew what was coming
No it’s because his wife’s sister died..
Jumped ship or not it ended in success
Died
You heard it here first folks Ron believes retirement is failure
