Despite rumors that Van Gaal was going to be announced as Manchester United’s new manager this week, his announcement will have to wait until the end of the World Cup.
The Dutch manager is currently guiding the Netherlands through the international competition and cannot be distracted in any way.

However, his arrival is more than a rumor. In fact, talks of the staff Van Gaal may bring with him to Old Trafford are spreading quickly. On the way to join the Red Devils could be Holland assistant manager Patrick Kluivert, goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek, physio Jos van Dijk and video analyst Max Reckers.

To please Van Gaal’s arrival, United’s owners are ready to splurge in the Bundesliga. Amongst the players desired by the Dutchman are Marco Reus, Toni Kroos, and Mats Hummels.
