Manchester United To Begin Search For Louis van Gaal’s Successor With Dutchman Set To Confirm Retirement – Report

Manchester United will start their hunt for Louis van Gaal’s replacement at the end of the season with the Red Devils expecting the Dutchman to see out the rest of his 18-month contract before retiring.

The 64-year-old was handed a three-year deal at Old Trafford in 2014 and, despite fan disgruntlement, he’s so far completed his objectives by reinstating United into the Champions League and making them title challengers again this term.

However, Pep Guardiola’s next move could shape the top of the Premier League for the next five years and the Spaniard is expected to become available this summer when he’s set to leave Bayern Munich.
And, with United desperate to avoid a repeat of their woeful handling of Sir Alex Ferguson’s proposed retirement in 2002, the Telegraph say that United officials will draw up a shortlist of potential successors this summer for the side’s next manager in 2017.
