Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal says his current contract will be his last in the game.

Van Gaal is enjoying his time in Manchester, but the 63-year-old has promised his wife Truus that this will be his last job in management and he intends to stick to his word.

"I will give it (football) up (in 2017)," the United manager said.

"I promised that to my wife. We have not many years together any more. That is the reason.

"I have to admit I have said to her, when I met her and after our relationship seemed to be very good, that at 55 I shall quit. I am still working and next week I am 64."

Not even huge riches could persuade him to seek another contract at Old Trafford or elsewhere.

"I have done everything in my career as a manager. I have been in the Netherlands, my home country, in Spain, which is a fantastic league, and Germany is also a fantastic league," Van Gaal said.

"I participated in the World Cup and the European Championship too.

"The only wish was the Premier League. Now I am here.

"Do I have to go to Qatar to earn still more money? I don't think so.

"You have to enjoy also your life and your relationship with your wife."
