Man United News: Van Gaal fears sack, Real Madrid star wants move, £45m defender bid
EXPRESS SPORT brings you all the latest news and gossip coming out of Old Trafford.
Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal, Toni Kroos and John Stones
Under-fire Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal fears he will be the next Premier League manager to be sacked.
His comments come in the wake of Jose Mourinho's shock departure from Chelsea, and the 64-year-old admits he could be the next big name to go if he fails to spark an immediate improvement in the Red Devils' results - ending a managerial career spanning three decades on a sour note.
"The pressure was higher when I was starting out as a manager because I had more to lose then but, no, that doesn't affect my hunger or desire now because I don't want to finish my career with the club sacking me," he said.
"That would be a great disappointment for me to say goodbye to the football world by being fired. I think [protecting] my honour is much more of a pressure for me than the pressure of the media and the fans."
