Louis van Gaal described reports of Manchester United opening talks with Jose Mourinho as "nonsense."
Mourinho was reportedly confident this week that he'll be named manager in the offseason.
"The last two months have been very difficult for my wife, my kids my grandchildren and my friends to cope with," Van Gaal said. "For me too, but I can cope. In the Netherlands they know I am too arrogant to doubt myself, but I also know that such a nonsense is being created about me.
"I do not believe that there is already a relationship between Jose Mourinho and Manchester United."
