Louis van Gaal’s future not subject of Manchester United board meeting
“Ed was very fast out of the dressing room but I feel that support, yes”, the 64-year-old said.

United’s home defeat by Norwich City last weekend, after which the Dutchman said he was “worried” about his position, was their third defeat in a row and they are without a win in six matches in all competitions. “That’s what I am wondering”, quipped Van Gaal on Wednesday, his frustration more than evident.
“Van Gaal continued: “(I have read) my (former) colleague (Mourinho) was here already. “But I can only see when I say something that you use my words in your context”.
“But if you look back at 2015 we have been consistent, we’ve had a positive year and stabilised our defensive record and improved our record against the strong teams in the Premier League”.
“I have tried to lift the confidence of my players”.
That would mean if United do go after Mourinho, they would have to sack Van Gaal without being entirely sure that the Portuguese would then step in.
“I held the Christmas lunch, I made a speech and I felt the warmth and the support of everybody at Carrington, at this training complex but I didn’t feel that in the media”.
“But I didn’t feel that in the media and of course I can imagine that you can write about that subject”.
Mourinho’s name was chanted by United fans at Old Trafford during the loss to Norwich and he has already confirmed that he has no desire to take a break after leaving Stamford Bridge last Thursday. Enjoy the wine and a mince pie.
“We are not in a good position but four weeks ago we were in first place and in about four weeks we can again be in that position again”.
Just before storming out, Van Gaal ended his press briefing by saying: “I am focused on Stoke City”.
