If Manchester United win their next two games, they’ll be very much in the title race and through to the knock out stages of the Champions League.
Despite this, there’s a growing sense that Louis van Gaal is under pressure at the club, with his possession-style football criticised by supporters.
Having faced a fair amount of flak Van Gaal now appears open to changing his famous philosophy.
“I have a philosophy, but you always have to bring very good arguments to change my mind. But when I’m thinking it’s a better solution, I always choose the better solution.
“I always gave my clubs structure and I think structure is very important in a club, but also in a company and everywhere.”
The Dutchman claims that reports that have suggested unrest amongst the club’s players are wide of the mark and implied that he wouldn’t continue in the job if he felt there was a lack of chemistry.
“I’m happy that when I’m gone, people are saying nice things about me but the most important thing is not always that. It’s in my opinion the chemistry between players and staff. That chemistry is the most important thing.
“When I have the feeling that the chemistry is there, I will always work to my utmost best. But when I have a single feeling that it is not like that, I’m the first coach that quits and I have proved that already with my former clubs and former jobs.”
