Starsport reports that that Van Gaal has TWO games left to save his job at United. That drastic action could now be appointing the Special One.
United were booed off after their third straight defeat sent them tumbling out of the top four.
And despite Van Gaal claiming his players are still behind him he conceded his job is now on the line.
However, Van Gaal disclosed that he would quit if he ever lost the trust of his players. Asked if that is the case now, he replied: “No. I have seen the reaction of the players to me.
“The most important support is from the players. It is always like that because the players have to do it on the pitch. The chemistry between the players and the manager and his staff is very important.
“But of course the belief of the fans in the manager is also very important. Last year, they believed in me. They thought I would bring us to the top.
“Now we are in a bad period. We have lost three matches in a row and their belief has been tested.
“It’s important how the fans are thinking, of course. But the most important thing is Manchester United.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea players have reacted to the sacking of their manager, Jose Mourinho, just seven months after lifting the English Premier League winners’ trophy.
News broke on Thursday, December 17, that Mourinho had been relieved of his duties in the Stamford Bridge dugout by mutual agreement and may pocket a staggering £40 million as severance pay.
