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.
