The Sun are reporting this morning that van Gaal has been offered a way to stay at Old Trafford, and an opportunity to work alongside his successor, who they claim will be Jose Mourinho.
The newspaper reports that LvG will be offered a director of football role this summer and will move 'upstairs, to allow Mourinho take over.
The offer from Ed Woodward is understood to be made with LvG's three-year-contract in mind, and how costly it could be for the club to break it.

It's true that Mourinho and LvG have a decent relationship, and indeed did work together at Barcelona before.
But surely now that Mourinho has established himself as a top coach, he would be dismissive of working under his predecessor.
LvG would also surely find it too galling to see the Portuguese dismantle his expensively assembled squad this summer.
We'd imagine ego will have a lot to do with what happens to both men, but for now, we're calling B.S on this notion.
