Thursday 28 January 2016 13:50, UK
Louis van Gaal will face the media today and you can hear exactly what the under-pressure Manchester United manager says right here.
It has been a week of intense pressure for the Dutchman after his team's 1-0 home defeat to Southampton at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Despite speculation his position could be under threat, he remains in a job and will take questions from reporters ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup trip to Derby from 2pm.
Van Gaal began the week in his native Holland having returned there briefly to celebrate his daughter's birthday.
That came as newspaper reports which claimed he had offered to resign in the wake of the Southampton defeat were quashed by sources within the club.
While Van Gaal was away, United chief executive Ed Woodward spoke to a number of his senior players about the team's recent performances.
Since the former Barcelona coach returned to Carrington on Tuesday, he has had support and backing from a number of figures.
Paul Clement, the manager he will come up against at the iPro Stadium, believes Van Gaal remains one of the best in the world despite the struggles he has had this season.
Dutch journalist Marcel ver der Kraan also says criticism of the 64-year-old will only drive him to improvement the way it has in the past and is adamant he won't quit his post.
