Pressure grows on United boss
Date published: 26 January 2016
MANCHESTER United boss Louis van Gaal was due back at the club today amid intense speculation about his position.
Reports have suggested the Dutchman spoke to United executive vice–chairman Ed Woodward about his future immediately after Saturday’s 1–0 home defeat to Southampton, with some claiming Van Gaal offered his resignation.
As was always scheduled, the manager and his players had both Sunday and yesterday off, and it is reported Van Gaal, returning to work today to take training, is set for further discussions with Woodward this week.
United’s next game is an FA Cup fourth–round trip to Derby on Friday.
Boos rang around Old Trafford following the final whistle of the Barclays Premier League contest on Saturday as Van Gaal endured what he later described as the worst reaction he has heard from
supporters yet during his time in charge.
