Manchester united manager Louis
van Gaal says he wont ask the club if they have
been in contact with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho about taking his place at the helms of Manchester united,
saying he would be "disappointed" if reports are accurate."Then I shall be disappointed,'' the United manager said. "Because that is the consequence of what I have said. In a football world that is possible, I know, but I do not think that.
"I have a relationship with Ed and the Glazers, they [would] tell me I think.''
Van Gaal insisted he felt no need to ask Woodward or other board members whether contact had been made between the two parties.
"I don't think that I have to [ask] them, no,'' the 64-year-old said.
''I am not agreeing with that,'' the Dutchman said when asked if it would be better for the club to say something on the matter.
''Because I have said many times that not all the media, but a lot of media, is inventing stories and you don't have to answer on invented stories. I agree with this policy of the club.''
"I think so, but that analysis has to be made by the board and maybe also by the media," he said. "I think that you have to always look at the circumstances, how you have to work, and I think this board is doing that."
Van Gaal maintained that all the pessimism surrounding United could be reversed if his team went on a run over the next few weeks and bridged the six-point gap that separates them from fourth.
"In two games you can be level with your competitor," he said. "That is the benefit of this system of three points."
