Louis van Gaal left Manchester United’s team hotel in London on Sunday telling Sky Sports News HQ’s reporter “it’s over”.
Sky sources understand Jose Mourinho is set to succeed Van Gaal as United manager, with his agent Jorge Mendes due to fly into the UK on Tuesday for talks.
United insist, however, Van Gaal’s comments on Sunday were referring purely to the season being “over” – not his reign as United boss.
The victorious United squad boarded their bus just before midday on Sunday with Van Gaal posing for photographs with fans.
