Man Utd intend to name Van Gaal new manager Wednesday

Manchester United are preparing to name Louis van Gaal as new manager next Wednesday. The Daily Mail says Van Gaal is set to be confirmed as Manchester United's manager on Wednesday and will bring his extensive Dutch backroom staff with him to Old Trafford.

The 62-year-old will be joined at United by former Holland striker Patrick Kluivert, goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek, fitness coach Jos van Dijk and analyst Max Reekers.

However, their arrival means the club's famous Class of 92 face uncertain futures.

The roles for interim manager Ryan Giggs and coaches Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Phil Neville are up in the air, and they may be forced to take on junior roles or - in the worst-case scenario - move on altogether.

It is expected that Van Gaal's appointment will be announced after United have played their final home game of the season against Hull on Tuesday night.
