He said: "I'm not looking beyond this competition. We live in the present. For the future, I discuss that with my board and not with you.When pushed about whether his answer meant he still expected to be in charge at Old Trafford next season, Van Gaal replied: “Yes, but you repeat what I have always said. It is not news, you don't have to write it.”

He said: “It's not for me to judge, it's for the board of Manchester United.”
