Van Gaal was appointed on a three-year deal and has vowed to “make history” at the club.

His previous jobs include spells with Ajax, Bayern Munich and Barcelona. He won the domestic title with each of those clubs and also with AZ Alkmaar.

Van Gaal, current coach of the Netherlands, is to resume in July after the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

He is to be assisted by Ryan Giggs.

Manchester United may fire manager David Moyes

Prominent Manchester United boardroom members, are no longer happy with manager David Moyes and are considering sacking the former Everton boss, according to club sources.

David Moyes, Manchester’s coach

According to ESPN, the Glazer family owners are now more open to replacing Moyes, who has endured a torrid start to his career as United coach. And although they will continue to back the beleaguered Scot, the next week could prove to be the deal breaker. The Red Devils must overturn a two-goal deficit against Olympiakos, to qualify for the quarter-finals of th UEFA Champions League, before travelling to West Ham and then playing their fierce rivals in the Manchester derby next Tuesday.

If United fail to progress past the last 16 in Europe and perform badly in the next two league games, it might force the Glazers’ hands. Old Trafford sources also claim that Moyes’ predecessor, Sir Alex Ferguson, no longer backs his fellow Scot as vocally as before at boardroom level but it is believed that Bobby Charlton is still firmly behind the 50-year-old.

Although plans have already been made to cope financially, if the club fails to qualify for next season’s Champions League, the board is also nervous about sponsors complaining about being linked with failure. (0)
