Louis van Gaal could be hanging around for a lot longer than originally planned.

The Manchester United boss revealed last week that this would be his final job in football management but now says he could be ignoring Juan Mata and making Falcao cry far beyond the end of his contract in 2017.

Speaking to the official club website, he said: “It can still be five years, I can extend my contract.

“I have promised my wife but you never know. What I have said before, you always have to be in the situation and then you can decide.

“Now I am in the situation where I have signed for three years because in three years’ time you can build up something. They (the club) would agree with that.

“I don’t know how I shall react in the circumstances when Manchester United ask me extend, and if I shall do that. But this is my last club.”
