Yesterday was the sixth goalless draw for Manchester United in the last 14 games under Louis van Gaal. Sir Alex Ferguson had zero nil-nil draws in his last 115 games as United boss. United only have three points and no wins from their last 18 possible points in their last six games.
Still, Van Gaal is confident that he’ll stay on as Manager, and he reiterated that he wants to stay.
(UPDATE: Van Gaal shows off his sense of humor with friendly United supporters after the game) Red Devils fans were signing “Louis van Gaal! Louis van Gaal’s army, and he stopped to pose for pictures and crack jokes with them)
Here’s the video below:

It seems like reports of LVG’s demise were greatly exaggerated.
Van Gaal told the BBC after the game “there is no reason to sack me.” Here is the link to his post match interview yesterday.
"There is not any reason to sack me."

“I cannot say that I am very much concerned, I am confident in the board,” he said in his post match interview.
“You have seen that the players are fighting for me,” he continued.
