Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has admitted that it would be "very hard" for him to stay at Old Trafford beyond the end of the 2016-17 season.
The Dutchman signed a three-year contract with the Premier League side in the summer of 2014, but it has been reported that the 64-year-old could pen a fresh deal.
Van Gaal, however, has said that a promise he made to his wife would make it difficult to continue in football management beyond 2017.
"Normally I shall leave after next year but what is normal in our football world you never know. I promised my wife I would go to our paradise [in Portugal]. It will be very hard to deny her that promise. It shall be very hard to my wife," Van Gaal told reporters.
The Dutchman's comments came at a press conference ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Wolfsburg.
