Van Gaal ‘Did Not Offer’ To Resign As Manchester United Boss
Louis van Gaal admits he is losing the battle to convince Manchester United fans he is the right man to drag the club out of their worrying predicament.
Manchester United, who have managed to win just two of their last 10 league games, now find themselves fifth in the standings with 37 points from 23 games, 10 adrift of leaders Leicester City.
United fans, has the board made the wrong decision here?
“With every bad result, and there have been quite a few this season, the pressure cranks up a notch and we see all the headlines about Van Gaal facing the sack or resigning from his post”, Redknapp said.
Jose Mourinho’s agent Jorge Mendes has responded to the claims that the Portuguese manager wrote a six-page letter to Manchester United regarding the manager’s job.
“I’m very disappointed that I can not reach the expectations of the fans”.
According to the report, Van Gaal met with Ed Woodward, the executive vice-chairman, and offered to step down as manager despite having 18 months remaining on his contract.
Reports suggest Van Gaal could leave the club at the end of the season should the situation not improve and he has now admitted that trying to meet the demands of the Old Trafford faithful is proving hard.
Van Gaal’s side were eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League and have failed to score a first-half goal in their past 11 home games. We must get better results for you.
For me, what we did in the past was great, but you have to have the players to do that.
“We couldn’t break Southampton down today, they played a very solid five and we found it very hard, but we need to learn from this”. “Yes, because we want to be in the top three, and we’re not in the top three, and now, after today, our competitors have won, so it’s a setback”, he said.
The weekend meeting with Southampton saw United fail to win for the 18th time in 34 competitive matches this season.
