He's sealed his fate there.

Only because the press will cry about it. I can't see much wrong with his attitude towards them, and perhaps they'd like to think about how they'll feel if roles were reversed.
I'm not saying its wrong, but it's pretty self-defeating. Unless he wants the sack that is.
What's to lose? If the people you work for are going to sack you over a few headlines you're better off gone.
ESPN said that united didn't want to sack him as it would create bad feeling between them,its his last job and it's near Christmas.
What a load of complete spanners we have ruling the roost.

There is the article.
Did Ferguson ever come under serious pressure as Man United manager? (During the Premier league era)
Not many people know he was actually sacked just before the 1998/99 season and replaced by Tony Blair.
Fergie was nearly sacked in 89.
Are you my wife, Boom?
Who is she trying to impress?
They're really scraping the barrel now.

In other news, ex goalkeeper Kevin Pilkington was scathing about the under-fire Dutchman.
'His defensive tactics go against everything this club and the people of Manchester stand for,' said Pilkington, 41.
Van Gaal found backing, though, when his countryman and former United great Raimond van der Gouw, 52, was quoted in Dutch media as saying 'Manchester United are special. As a club, they stand against the immediacy of modern life.'
Eric Djemba-Djemba was unavailable for comment.
Well hopefully that's that.
The wilted tulip rip. The club the Glazers deserve is here.
I think if they lose to Chelsea by two or more he'll be off.
You think he's lasting until Monday?
Probably.
Although I think that's the first time in twenty years that they've lost 4 in a row, so, hmm...
Edit: the clever chap knows how to not get sacked:

I can't see Van Gaal seeing the New Year in.
They should hire Mourinho then sack him in the summer and get Guardiola then. Imagine the Mourinho seethe. It'd be brilliant.
There are two many bad man managers potentially available. Might as well cut his throat now and get someone else in.
Not that Mourinho will fix all wrongs but his teams have been the top scorers a number of times. It's not the best but it's better.
He's a twat. I'm glad for him.
Any truth here?

Giggs in charge for this then Mourinho in for Swansea? They're all cunts.
.....
Apparently he hasn't bothered turning up for training today. Shame, I had hoped he would at least last until the end of the season.
It's not a team defunct of talent, it's just poorly managed and unbalanced. The first thing that needs sorting is the footballing direction of the club as there is little rhyme or reason why we sign players.
It's a challenge for whoever comes in.
To save time, Smiffy, who could win one of the 'next few' titles with the richest team in the world?
Mourinho would probably back Rooney in a centre forward role, since he likes the centre forward to charge around doing everything, which old Wayne is quite adept at.
Short of that, Daley Blind would be back in midfield, and Phil Jones can expect an extended spell at right back. 'Memphis' might as well pack his bags now.
.....
Lvg hasn't won anything relevant in twenty years compared to Mourinho. He's definitely not as risky.
The last bit is a bit obvious considering we are on the verge of sacking the manager. Of course we look the least likely.
.....
Would Mata be sold as soon as Jose come in?
Replace one negative manager with another, yeah that works.
Mourinho would get on with Mata. Mata knows the score if he doesn't. I think Man United best get rid of LVG asap as that ship is sinking fasting.
Quite how that squad of players is playing so shit is beyond me. They are turning into a slightly better version of Newcastle.
I agree with Jimmy's sentiments about Rooney. Mourinho likes players who work hard etc. Hence why Oscar kept his place and Mata was originally hunted. Depay would be fucked out the door real quick unless he changed.
He'd be ruthless enough to get rid of the deadwood as well. Quite alot of it is kicking about. Quite how Ashley Young is considered as left wing back is beyond me.
They need a leader at the back. So a centre half who takes no shit is surely the first signing. They look powerpuff weak. Likewise a midfielder who can win the ball and cover space. Carrick etc look really ineffective.
Say what you like but I think they let go of Darren Fletcher way too early. Horrible cunt to watch but did his job well.
Was Darren Fletcher not permanently crocked?
Fletcher is past his best. West Brom is his level now, he made the right move.
The squad needs players not more culling. There is no depth.
According to this you have about 24 first team players in your squad. That's more than enough to cope with injuries etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C.
I'd state you need a cull and players brought in.
Didn't even realise Fletcher was still playing.
I think what Man United need to do is sign some better players and play better.
