United denial over van Gaal deal
Print Edition
MANCHESTER United has dismissed press reports in the Netherlands that the club had agreed a three-year deal with Louis van Gaal for him to replace the sacked David Moyes as coach.
Popular broadsheet De Telegraaf said yesterday that “the national coach (van Gaal) late last (Friday) night reached a deal with the top British club,” to take over as manager after the World Cup.
“The man who’s the absolute No. 1 to replace axed coach David Moyes will immediately take up the job when the Dutch 11 is knocked out of the World Cup in Brazil,” the paper added.
Van Gaal, 62, who has been on holiday in Portugal’s Algarve “has been in talks with Ed Woodward, lawyer for club owners the Glazer brothers for a multi-year, multi-million contract,” it said.
But United, which has put veteran player Ryan Giggs in charge until the end of the season, quickly denied it. “There is nothing to report. We have not signed a new manager,” a club spokesman said.
