Van Gaal took the Netherlands to third place at the 2014 World Cup

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has insisted he will remain at Old Trafford next season.

Van Gaal added: "We always knew that the process would take three years. I wanted to sign only for two years. The club wanted me to sign for three years, not me.
