Joel Pereira: 'Manchester United players don't discuss Louis van Gaal future'

Manchester United goalkeeper Joel Pereira insists that the players have not been discussing the speculation surrounding Louis van Gaal's job as manager.

Manchester United goalkeeper Joel Pereira has insisted that the players do not discuss the speculation surrounding manager Louis van Gaal.

It has been widely reported that the Dutchman could be sacked at the end of the season, with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho thought to be waiting in the wings to take over.

While it may be a big topic of discussion in the media, Pereira has claimed that he and his teammates are not concerned.

"Honestly, who talks most about this are the newspapers, the players don't," the Manchester Evening News quotes Pereira as saying.

"Our manager now is Van Gaal, who has lately achieved better results and has a contract until 2017. It wouldn't look good for me to talk about other candidates for his place."

United responded to getting knocked out of the Europa League at the hands of Liverpool by earning a 1-0 win over local rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium last Sunday.
