BREAKING: Manchester United sack Louis van Gaal

Louis van Gaal has been
 reportedly sacked as manager of Manchester United, with former Chelsea
boss Jose Mourinho set to be named as his replacement.

Van Gaal, 64, leaves after two years of a three-year contract and is
currently discussing severance terms.


The former Netherlands boss is believed to earn around £6.4m a year.

Mourinho’s appointment is expected to be confirmed after the 53-year-old
 Portuguese meets with senior United officials on Tuesday.

It is not yet certain what future Ryan Giggs, Van Gaal’s assistant, has
at Old Trafford or what will happen to the rest of the coaching team.
