Embattled Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has vowed to stay in charge at Old Trafford following United’s latest 0-0 draw with Chelsea last night at Old Trafford while insisting the “players are fighting for me”.
Despite United dominating the game there is still no hiding from the fact it was the clubs eighth match without a win.
Van Gaal said: “There is no reason to sack me. I can’t have any influence on that.
“I can only work with my players and you can see they are fighting for me.
“Even after this result the fans were applauding, so I cannot say I’m very concerned.
“In football you never know, but I’m fully confident in the board and my players.
“Will I resign? On the contrary. When the players can give such a performance with a lot of pressure, there is not any reason to resign for me.
“I shall not resign. It’s not a question of staying, it’s a question of fulfilling my contract.”
