Former Man United star Andrei Kanchelskis has claimed Louis van Gaal does not “understand English football” – but says the Dutchman should keep his job.

The comments from Mendes, however, will not stop people speculating about there being informal talks between the parties as he specifically said an official proposal so things could happen in the future.

Quizzed about the speculation by reporters at his weekly press conference ahead of Saturday’s trip to Stoke, Van Gaal quickly became irritated and it was less than five minutes before he decided he had had enough.

But on Tuesday it appeared Van Gaal might not even last that long, after Twitter was deluged with talk that he had been sacked.
