Louis Van Gaal: Man Utd Boss Says He Could Choose To Quit by smsshola(m): 2:04pm On Dec 27, 2015 |
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal said he
could "quit by myself" after Stoke City beat his
side 2-0 to condemn them to a fourth straight
defeat.
The Dutchman, under pressure after seven
games without a victory, was asked at his post-
match news conference whether he feared he
would be sacked.
Van Gaal, 64, said that was something he would
discuss with executive vice-chairman Ed
Woodward and not the media.
"It is not always the club that has to fire or
sack me," he said.
"Sometimes I do that by myself, but I am the
one who wants to speak first with the board of
Manchester United and my members of staff and
my players, not with you."
United's miserable run has seen them knocked
out of the Champions League at the group stage
and slip out of the top four in the Premier
League.
Van Gaal, who succeeded David Moyes in the
summer of 2014, said the club had backed him
"all the time" but added: "We have lost so there
is a new situation.
"I feel the support of my players and my board.
The fans will be disappointed but that is logical
after four defeats."
Van Gaal does not think it is important that
Woodward has not publicly supported him.
"For me it's much more important that people
are saying that to me," he said. "I am not so
interested in public sayings."
Van Gaal saw his side quickly go behind to
goals from Bojan Krkic and Marko Arnautovic,
and United struggled to create chances as they
tried to work their way back into the match in
the second half.
"We have lost the game in the first 45 minutes
because we didn't dare to play our football,"
said Van Gaal, whose side host Chelsea on
Monday.
"The circumstances now play a bigger role and
will in the next game also. We have to cope
with that and look for the solution.
"It is very difficult as I'm also part of four
losses and I have to cope with that and I have
to manage that. More important is that my
players shall manage that because they have to
perform." |
