Louis van Gaal showed up to his press conference ahead of Manchester United's Boxing Day match against Stoke City hoping to talk to reporters about the game. Instead, they asked questions about his job security, or lack thereof. He took just three questions before going on a long rant, wishing the reporters a merry Christmas, and walking out just five minutes into the presser.

Or with my grandchildren? Or with the fans of Manchester United? Or my friends? What do you think?”
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has publicly spoken out in support of van Gaal, saying that open speculation about his successor before he’s been sacked is unfair. You can read an entire transcript of van Gaal’s quotes here.
