Louis van Gaal: Man Utd boss says Derby defeat may get him sacked 'again'
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says an FA Cup defeat at Derby on Friday could get him sacked - for the fourth time this season. The Dutchman, 64, said speculation he offered to resign after the 1-0 loss to Southampton was "awful and horrible". In a swipe at the media, he claimed journalists had "sacked" him three times already this season, and would do so again if United lose at Derby. "Maybe then you have written the truth because sometimes it happens," he said. United are 10 points behind Premier League leaders Leicester, five points adrift of Tottenham in fourth place and out of the Champions League. Speaking before Friday's fourth-round match with the side fifth in the Championship, Van Gaal said questions about his future were being asked in a "disrespectful way".
