Manchester United manager if he feels he no longer has a
connection with his players.
The Dutchman has received significant criticism in recent
months following United's underwhelming performances
despite them sitting third in the Premier League table.
Van Gaal's side are just one point off the pace from leaders
Manchester City, and have qualification for the Champions
League knockout stages in their own hands.
The Dutch boss is confident that he still has the backing of
the players, and has made it clear he would immediately
throw in the towel the moment he felt that was no longer the
case.
"The most important thing in my opinion is the chemistry
between players and staff," he explained to reporters. "That
chemistry is the most important thing and when I have the
feeling that the chemistry is there, I will always work to my
utmost best.
"But when I have a single feeling that it is not like that, I'm
the first coach that quits and I have proved that already with
my former clubs and former jobs.
"I don't think there is another coach who decides to quit
himself because of the money aspect, but I am like that.
"It's fantastic that people are saying when I'm gone, 'Oh, he
was very good, he gave structure and was the basis for
other things'. But the most important thing for me as a
trainer, coach and manager is the chemistry between me
and my players and my board.
"It should be good and otherwise I would be gone."
United resume Premier League action at home against West
Ham on Saturday, having been held 1-1 at joint
leaders Leicester City last time out.
The Red Devils' Champions League group stage campaign
concludes with Tuesday's visit to Wolfsburg, who they will
replace at the summit of Group B with a win.
