I am not going to change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I want to change my philosophy, I will change. If not, you have to change the man. We will talk about that every game that we lose. I don\u2019t believe in that, in the system, or whatever. I believe in my way and I am going to play my way until I want to change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy message is that I am going to give everything. I will do everything, always thinking about what is best for the club. That was always the same message.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not my decision, the rest (on whether United change manager).
