The Dutch coach repeatedly mentioned being " placed in a state of tension and chaos" in his final days in charge at Old Trafford. Van Gaal shared that he always felt that someone was chasing behind him and just waited for him to be fired.
The most beautiful moment of "Van Can" was when he and his students lifted the FA Cup title in 2015. Since then, this veteran coach has not felt comfortable anymore.
"The pressure on my shoulders is always at my maximum, I feel like they (the M.U leadership) are always right behind me and whispering everything into my ears. His script was like a movie and everything had gotten worse since the January period.
I understand that at that time, M.U chose Mourinho to replace me. You can see that there is no more reasonable reason to explain why Mourinho suddenly sat on the pitch for more than a year after being sacked by Chelsea. I am the one who understands best, Mourinho will come to replace me one day, very soon, that is different".
The 66-year-old coach could not hide his bitterness when he was fired by M.U in a way that was not "mainly on the main road", Van Gaal admitted that he did everything to please the owners but everything was still beyond his reach.
"I was very sad that they leaked information about my salary before everything went official. This was the biggest disappointment of my life.
Instead of telling me from the beginning that they would target Jose Mourinho, everything would be easier. At that time, I can say the best thanks after a period of association and fun for Mourinho to take over the club".
Since leaving M.U last summer, Louis Van Gaal has not yet found his next destination and he has considered retiring. As for M.U, since being taken over by Mourino, they have returned to the Champions League thanks to a ticket to the Europa League championship.
