Louis Van Gaal fears ‘end of the world’ could come for him at Man United

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal insists he has been under far greater pressure in his career than he is now — but is wary of suffering the “great disappointment” of it concluding with him being sacked.

The 64-year-old Dutchman, who has stated his intention to retire when his current contract runs out in 2017, is enduring a tough time at the moment.

United are winless in five games in all competitions, out of the Champions League and six points off the top of the Premier League, while their playing style has been widely derided as dull.
