Louis Van Gaal Wants Apology From the Media

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has asked for an apology from the press as he accused them of publishing false reports on his Manchester United future.

Van Gaal who arrived for his weekly news conference accused the assembled media of prematurely writing his Old Trafford obituary in the wake of three straight defeats and the sudden availability of Jose Mourinho.

This was speech he made before walking out, “has anybody in this room not a feeling to apologise to me? That's what I am wondering. I think I was already sacked, I have read. Or have been sacked. Or that my colleague [Jose Mourinho] was here already. What do you think that happens with my wife or with my kids? Or with my grandchildren? Or with the fans of Manchester United? Or with my friends? What do you think? They have called me, a lot of times, and also Arsene Wenger is saying something about that. Do you think I want to talk with the media now? I am here only because of the Premier League rules. I have to talk with you. But I can only see that when I talk to you that you put it in your context. You have to stick by the facts, and when I get calls from Ed Woodward, Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill, because you are creating something that is not good, that is not the facts, and now I have to answer questions. I don't think I want to do it. Enjoy the wine and a mince pie. Goodbye”
