Van Gaal: Manchester United boss plans to retire in 2017

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal says he could not have stayed in charge of one club for as long as #Arsene Wenger has #Arsenal. Wenger, whose Arsenal side host table-topping United in the #PremierLeague #BPL on Sunday, became their manager 19 years ago this week. Van Gaal’s career has been far more nomadic.

His first stint as a head coach – at #Ajax between 1991 and 1997 – remains his longest, and if the 64-year-old sticks to his word he will end his time with United by retiring in 2017.
