adminMANCHESTER. — Under-fire Louis van Gaal admits it could be “the end of the world” for him if Manchester United’s fortunes do not improve. Van Gaal says Jose Mourinho’s departure from Chelsea serves as a reminder that no manager is safe if results are poor. And the Dutchman accepts the pressure is mounting on him after a worrying run when United have been knocked out of the Capital One Cup, the Champions League and dropped six points behind leaders Leicester in the English Premier League.
Asked if he felt secure he said: “What can I answer about that. I can’t. Is no one’s safe? It’s like that but we know that in advance. It’s this (football) world. “I have the full confidence of my board and my players, I feel, and it’s like that.
“But we have to get results, we have to win, we know that — the players know it, I know it and my staff know it. We have to win because when you lose too much it’s the end of the world for me also.” — AFP.
