Video: Louis Van Gaal Angry

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has reacted angrily to questions regarding his future after his side's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. 

The Dutchman was asked about a growing sense that the club is 'trying to replace him' and produced a stern, frosty response to the journalist during his post-match press conference. 

"Oh you have spoken with Ed Woodward?" Van Gaal said. 

When the reporter responded that United had moved quickly to deny suggestions that Jose Mourinho was being lined up to replace van Gaal in the summer, the manager's vexation continued.
 

"Why would they deny it? When you are creating stories and you haven't spoken with Woodward or the Glazers, you are inventing stories and I have to answer the question but I won't answer this question and I will repeat myself every week. I have to say that you are getting the sack tomorrow. What is your name, so I can announce the name also? Look at your wife, or maybe you have children, or a nephew or something like that [and see the affect on them].”

Van Gaal however, was mainly frustrated at United's late lapse at Stamford Bridge in letting Guus Hiddink's side get away with a point. 

“That’s why I’m frustrated and my players are, too, in the dressing room,” Van Gaal said. “When you have played as well as we did today and you are not making the gap smaller … It isn't a lack of concentration. It is not being composed when you are defending. 

"When we have the ball we have to keep the ball and you have to give the right pass at the right moment. We didn’t do that.

“You can say it’s misfortune but that’s not the first time it’s happened to us. At Newcastle last month it was also in added time [that the hosts equalised to make it 3-3]. We have to do better. We have to improve in that way but I’m happy with the performance. It’s frustrating.

“But it’s not a big disappointment because we played a very good match until the last quarter, I think. So it is more frustrating that they scored in added time and how they scored because Daley Blind was slipping, more or less. It is a pity because we had the chance to score more goals. "We controlled the game even though the level of the individual players is very high in Chelsea, and Manchester United haven’t won here for three years, so it is not so easy. But it is better than last year. We played better than Chelsea also last year but they won 1-0. Now it is 1-1. So we improved, and it was not a ‘boring’ match. So, for the third time in a row, it was ‘sparkling’”.

Van Gaal also expressed his anger at referee Michael Oliver blowing the half-time and full-time whistles as United were building a counter-attack.

“I see that happening a lot of times,” he added, “and I want to improve the referees, also.”
