The Dutch coach has revealed how he signed only a two-year deal at Old Trafford after replacing David Moyes, but the club
wanted him on board for three years.
Louis van Gaal is adamant he will still be Manchester United manager next season, no matter what happens at the end of the season.
The Red Devils hold onto the hopes of the top-four finish and are in the FA Cup final but speculation over the Dutchman’s future
at the club persists.
Jose Mourinho has been heavily linked with replacing Van Gaal at Old Trafford but the 64-year-old is relaxed about his future and says he always felt it would take time to bring success to the club where by on the other hand Manchester united fans yarn for the quick restoration of the club's former glory.
"I knew it would be like this. That’s why they hired me and we spoke about it," he told reporters. "We always knew that the process would take three years. I wanted to sign only for two years.
"The club wanted me to sign for three years, not me. I signed for three years – so next year you will see me again. "Every week for six months I have been sacked – and yet I am still here. But this has happened to me at every club I have been at. "I am doing the same job at United that I was hired to do at every club.
"People should assess the squad that I took over and make a comparison to the players we have now in terms of age. "There is a big difference between what the people in the street think and the media. A big difference. I can only tell you my experiences and I don’t have to defend myself. I am a realistic man and so I only speak about facts."
"We also have the best home record in the league, but we are one of the lousiest away teams of the top clubs and that is something we need to improve."
