The Dutchman Louis van Gaal is sacked by Manchester United, and will be replaced by the Genius Boy Jose Mourinho.

Louis van Gaal spent his last day supervising training at the Carrington Training Ground, a day before that he was seen negotiating for the compensation package for him and his coaching staff.

According to some sources he was the Manchester United Board informed Van Gaan on Sunday Night that his services are no longer needed for the club. It is thought this could coincide with the closing of the New York Stock Exchange at 9pm BST.

We understand United are now due to speak to Jose Mourinho's representatives about replacing Van Gaal on Tuesday.

Jose was jobless after having a nightmare season at the Stamford Bridge, and was seen on different occasion with his long term assistant Rui Faria.

As he returned for the second time - without Faria - he told reporters, cameramen and photographers waiting outside: "Go home, go home, go home because I don't leave the house today. It's better to go home."

Van Gaal arrived at Carrington at 8.45am and he was joined there an hour later by employment lawyer Paul Gilroy QC. Ryan Giggs - whose own future is unclear after 29 years with United as a player and coach - left about 30 minutes after Gilroy arrived.

Gilroy likewise arranged David Moyes' severance bundle when he was released two years prior and he exited again at around 3.30pm. Despite the fact that he waved to journalists holding up outside, he was headed out without making any remark.

It is quite surprising, Van Gaal leaving after winning them FA Cup in his very last match, a win over Crystal Palace 2-1, which was not that easy.

Van Gaal has been in charge at Old Trafford since replacing Moyes and the weekend success at Wembley gave them their first trophy since Sir Alex Ferguson's reign ended in 2013. His win rate is the third best of all of United's permanent managers at 51 per cent but this season has seen him attract criticism for his team's style of play.

United scored an average of just 1.29 goals per Premier League match, having always been over 1.5 goals per game each season since the inception of the revamped top flight in 1992. At one point, the team went eight games without winning and recorded just three victories in 15 matches at the end of 2015.

EPL is going to be mouthwatering after Pep Guardiola has also agreed to manage Manchester City. Klopp, Jose, Renieri and Pep are going to make it the toughest soccer league in the world.
