However Sunday Mirror Sport understand that those above Van Gaal have other ideas and plan to lure Guardiola to the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Marcos Rojo has saved his United career after crunch talks with manager Van Gaal, according to the Daily Star.

 

The Argentina defender angered Van Gaal when he missed United’s preseason tour of America due to a passport problem.

The £16million defender was delighted when Van Gaal assured him that he was still in his plans, and is set for more opportunities following Luke Shaw’s horrific injury sustained in Holland this week.

However Van Gaal is interested in West Ham's Aaron Cresswell as a replacement for Shaw.
