Manchester United should stick with Louis van Gaal and draw on his experience for the benefit of coaching staff like Ryan Giggs, according to the League Managers Association chief executive Richard Bevan. Van Gaals future is uncertain with United requiring a victory by 19 goals against Bournemouth on Tuesday, live on Sky Sports 1, to finish fourth in the Premier League.According to Sky sources, Jose Mourinho has been told the United job is his this summer if the clubs owners decide to sack Van Gaal, but Bevan believes they should stick by the Dutchman. He told Sky Sports News HQ : Looking from the outside, and speaking to Louis van Gaal at our conferences, he is a very impressive man. Louis van Gaal admits Manchester United have not reached his expectations this season He is a man of 14 trophies, three titles in different countries, and immense experience in the Champions League.If I was Manchester United, I would be looking to see how I can embrace his experience and make sure the likes of Ryan Giggs and the backroom staff are benefiting in the next 12 months.He is one of the most talented and technically astute coaches in the world. LMA chief executive Richard Bevan thinks the sacking of Quique Sanchez Flores could prove to be a serious mistake Bevan expressed his disappointment at another season of frequent sackings and resignations.Weve had 54 sackings, 12 resignations, and 150 coaches, which often arent mentioned, and out of the 54 managers only five are back in work, Bevan said.What we often hear in the media is the merry-go-round, but it is not the case. If youre looking to give managers opportunities - Watford gave Billy McKinlay a chance, and he won the first game, drew the second one and got the sack at seven oclock at night. Thats not really the way to build the next managers and coaches for this country.Theyve had probably five managers in the last two seasons and I think sacking Quique Sanchez Flores was a very big surprise. Hes 51, a very talented manager, and I think its probably a serious mistake as well.What is important for the managers is that theyre not looking for sympathy, theyre looking for time to build, time to learn from mistakes and to have enough matches to survive when they succeed and build that career. Its very difficult. Also See: Schmeichel: United have bored me to death Sky Live: United v Bournemouth preview De Gea would not force move away No United offer for Zlatan - agent Doug Flutie Jersey .
