范加爾首談遭解僱：我人生中最大的失望

路易斯-范加爾開口談及了他在曼聯失意的執教之旅，聲稱俱樂部「先把他的頭放在了絞刑台上」，然後再在他的背後把他給解僱了。

荷蘭人在老特拉福德執教了2個賽季，在最後一場比賽贏得了足總杯冠軍，但是當曼聯高層意圖邀請穆里尼奧加盟的時候，他們和范加爾的結局並不太美好。

在一次轟動的報紙採訪中，范加爾告訴荷蘭媒體：「壓力非常大，我的頭就懸在絞刑台上（with my head in the noose，原意為頭套在繩索里），而他們跑到了我背後去。我認為這一切都像一齣電影一樣被演奏了出來，而這件事從1月份開始就在我的背後進行著。」

「我理解曼聯去找穆里尼奧的決定。突然間，我的合同走了1年半的時候穆里尼奧突然出現了，我知道曼聯有一天想要他來入主。」

1年過去了，范加爾似乎對老東家還是有些怨氣，他承認曾經試圖儘可能從曼聯身上拿到每一分錢。

「一直到消息走漏之後他們才告訴我（解僱的事），這是我一生最失望的事，」他繼續說。「曼聯沒跟我討論過這件事。」

「如果他們拿著穆里尼奧的計劃來找我，那麼我可能會說『OK，讓我們在最後的6個月盡力一搏，全身心地互相合作並且投入到球隊里，然後穆里尼奧可以接手過去。』」

「他們這麼做的話可以省下我去年的工資，但是在後來所發生的一切之後，我讓他們把每一分錢都付清。」

Louis van Gaal claims Manchester United put his 'head in a noose' during failed spell at Old Trafford: 'It was the biggest disappointment of my life

Louis van Gaal has spoken out about his failed tenure at Manchester United, claiming the club 'put his head in a noose' before going behind his back to sack him.

The Dutchman was in charge at Old Trafford for two seasons, winning the FA Cup in his final match, but it ended badly when the hierarchy eyed up Jose Mourinho as their next manager.

In an explosive interview with Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad, Van Gaal said: 'The pressure was enormous with my head in the noose and they went right behind my back. I think it was all orchestrated like a film and it was done very much behind my back right from January.

'I do understand that choice of United to get Mourinho. Suddenly, Mourinho was out after one-and-a-half years of my contract and I knew United wanted him one day.'

A year on, Van Gaal appears to still hold some ill feeling towards his former club, and he admits he has tried to get every penny he can from them.

'They told me [about my sacking] only after it was leaked out and it was the biggest disappointment of my life,' he continues. 'United did not discuss this with me.

'If they had come to me with the Mourinho plan then I could have said "Okay, let's give it everything for the last six months, complete commitment to each other and the team and then Jose Mourinho can take over."

'They could have saved the last year of my salary by doing that but after what happened I made them pay every penny.'

Since Van Gaal's exit, Mourinho has come in and restored Champions League football - via the Europa League - while the Dutchman remains without a job.

A high-profile summer transfer window and impressive start to the season has left supporters excited about the club's chances of winning the league title this term.

United sit top of the Premier League, the only team to still have a 100 per cent win record after the first three matches.
