Under-fire Van Gaal says he could choose to quit Man Utd
The game at Old Trafford could potentially be Van Gaal’s last, as speculation intensifies regarding his position.

Van Gaal’s grim post-match press conference was evidence to the fact that he was under intense pressure to hold on to his job at the club. When none was forthcoming, he casually asked the media to enjoy the “wine and mince pies” before, rather dramatically, storming out.
Whatever fate befalls van Gaal, there is guaranteed to be at least one sexagenarian Dutch coach in attendance at Old Trafford after Guus Hiddink’s appointment as interim manager at Chelsea.
“That is something I speak to Ed Woodward [about] by himself – not with you”.
“You can say I have failed if you like, but I don’t think it’s like that”, Van Gaal said.
And even though most of the 2,557 United supporters who had made the trip down the M6 clapped the players off at the final whistle, Van Gaal did not seem to have much fight left in him when he addressed the media shortly after. “I am able to deal with the pressure; the players still have to perform”.
The manager told Stoke Player: “We tell him until we are blue in the face to shoot more, to be perfectly honest, because he has great power”.
Man United manager Louis van Gaal might not stick around in England to see if Leicester can win the league for the first time.
“We lost too many challenges, they were sharper than us, and we were a bit unlucky as well”, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said.
“[The decision on my future] is another situation, we have lost the fourth game so you have to wait and see”. He doesn’t have much experience managing at the top level, but nor did Pep Guardiola when he took over a very good Barcelona team who’d won the European Cup two years previously.
A weak back header from Memphis Depay enabled Glen Johnson to tee up Bojan Krkic for Stoke’s opener in the 19th minute and Marko Arnautovic brilliantly slammed home the hosts’ second goal seven minutes later after Bojan’s free-kick hit the wall.
“But the circumstances are also hard, not only the circumstances with the wind, but also the pressure that in my opinion is the reason they don’t dare to play football”.
“From our point of view a team without Wayne Rooney is a team that maybe isn’t quite as strong, but maybe he wasn’t fit enough to start”, the Stoke manager said.
