Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal answered just three questions before storming out of a press conference that lasted four minutes and 58 seconds on Wednesday.

Van Gaal, 64, appeared displeased with a question about his future with the club amid rumors that he could be sacked. 

He closed his press conference by wishing reporters a happy holiday. 

“I wish you a merry Christmas and also maybe a happy new year when I see you,” van Gaal said. “Enjoy the wine and a mince pie. Goodbye.”
