United: Van Gaal quit offer not true
Print Edition
Louis van Gaal did not offer to resign after watching his team’s latest home defeat at the hands of Southampton at the weekend, sources close to Manchester United said yesterday.
Britain’s Guardian newspaper earlier reported that the club’s executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, had persuaded the Dutchman to stay following the 0-1 defeat which resulted in fans booing the team and Van Gaal off the pitch.
Woodward told Van Gaal to speak to his family before making a decision over his future, the newspaper said. The Dutchman flew to the Netherlands on Sunday for his daughter’s birthday.
The loss to Southampton marked the first time that the increasingly impatient fans showed open dissent against the manager.
Van Gaal admitted he had failed at Old Trafford, saying he was disappointed and frustrated that he had not lived up to the fans’ expectations.
