When asked if he has been involved in the planning for next season, Van Gaal said: “Yes, I am involved so that's not any discussion and it's also logical because I am the manager. We have seen that we are in a transition period and when I was mentioned as the coach it was also about that we have discussed and when I took over we had more than five or six players above 32 or 33 and then you have to select and you have to buy other players”
Van Gaal was speaking ahead of his side's clash with Leicester on Super Sunday and he believes United will need to win all of their remaining league games if they are to sneak into the top four. However, the Red Devils face a difficult game this weekend as they host the Premier League leaders and Van Gaal knows anything less than three points would be a hammer blow to his team's top-four chances.
Van Gaal said “I think we have to beat Leicester because we are still in the race for the first positions so we have to beat them. We have to close the gap so the pressure is on us still. We have to win every game that we have to play. City still have to play against Arsenal, though, so one of those shall lose points. We are fighting for the qualification of the Champions League and we are still in the FA Cup, so we have to fight for something and we shall do it. Hopefully, we can beat Leicester City”.
A win for Leicester on Sunday would secure the league title and cap a fairy-tale ending to one of the more remarkable sporting stories in recent memory. Van Gaal admits even he would be pleased to see Leicester crowned champions but hopes United can postpone their celebrations for one more week
