Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal reveals RETIREMENT plans

LOUIS VAN GAAL is adamant Manchester United will be his last club before he retires to live in Portugal.

Louis van Gaal - The Facts

The Dutchman took over the Red Devils last summer, however he has endured a testing campaign to date.

Van Gaal has come under fierce criticism for his tactics and at the age of 63, he is already looking ahead to what his retirement will hold.

And he is in no doubt he won't leave for another club once his time with United draws to a close.

"I am also old. This is my last job. For sure," Van Gaal told the Daily Telegraph.

"I have to pay attention to my kids, my grandchildren but also to my wife. They deserve it.

"Now I cannot pay that attention. I was not at the birthday of my grandson for example. I don't like it."

Van Gaal also explained why he wants to set up home in the Algarve.

He added: "I have a paradise in Portugal. I want to quit to go there, play golf, eat fantastic food. There are very good wines in Portugal.

"There is the beach, the very beautiful weather. I don't want to travel. Everyone wants to touch my body in the airports; it is always peeping because I have an artificial hip.

"I am the only one who has been controlled every time when we fly. I don't like it. It's better to sit down in my - our - paradise."
