Louis van Gaal has hinted that he could quit as Manchester United coach, after they lost 2-0 at Stoke City on Boxing Day.
Bojan Krkic and Marko Arnautovic scored for the home side, as they claimed a famous victory
The defeat at the Britannia Stadium, meant the Red Devils suffered a fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions.
Speaking about his future after the match, Van Gaal stated that he could resign willingly if he has to.
“I can also quit by myself,” he told reporters.
“That is something I speak to Ed Woodward [about] by himself — not with you.
“It is not always [that] the club has to fire or sack me. Sometimes I do it by myself. I am the one who wants to speak first with the board of Manchester United and with my members of staff and players — and not with you.”
