Louis van Gaal says that Manchester United don’t have to elucidate his future after reports that Jose Mourinho is in chats with the club.
Manchester United have opened transactions with agents of Mourinho.
Talking after Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Chelsea, Van Gaal asked a journalist: “You’ve spoken with [chief executive] Ed Woodward?

He is out of agreement toward the end of next season and the draw at Stamford Bridge left United six focuses shy of the main four.
“OK. So you didn’t speak to Ed Woodward, not with [Manchester United owners] the Glazers and you are inventing a story,” Van Gaal said.
“And then I have to answer this question. I don’t answer this question. And I shall repeat myself every week.
“Now I have to say that you [a reporter] are getting the sack tomorrow. What is your name? Then I can announce your name also.”
United had the better of the initial 70 minutes at Stamford Bridge and drove through Jesse Lingard’s amazing objective, just for Diego Costa to balance in included time.
Van Gaal said his group ought to have done what’s needed to procure the acclaim from the media and referenced Sir Alex Ferguson’s three years without a trophy toward the begin of his rule.
He said: “It was not a ‘boring’ match. For the third game in succession, our football was sparkling.
“So I hope to get the support of the media this week.
“But you write what you like. Maybe you remember the difficult first years of Fergie. You have to study, study statistics.”
