Emery's side also finished behind Arsenal in the Champions League group stage and will play Barcelona in the last-16. The Spanish coach replaced Laurent Blanc at the end of last season as PSG coach, after impressing while Sevilla manager.
However, he will reportedly be sacked if PSG lose to FC Lorient on Wednesday.
That could lead to Van Gaal taking the role and a potentially awkward reunion with a former player, who had less than kind words to say about him.

Angel di Maria spent one, unhappy and unproductive season at Old Trafford while Van Gaal was manager, and won't be relishing a reunion judging by his comments when he left the club for PSG in 2015.
"I started a game in a position, and then the next one I would be in another," Di Maria said.
"I scored goals playing in one position, and then suddenly the next game I was picked to play in a different position. "It's more that they didn't let me settle properly than I couldn't settle. I left a team that was out of the European competition and far away from being champions of the Premier League. "I don't think it was my fault or the fault of my team mates."In other words, it was Louis' fault and I don't ever want to play under him again.
Guus Hiddink and Roberto Mancini are also being linked with PSG.
However, Van Gaal's relationship with his former player Patrick Kluivert, the PSG director of football, could land him the job if the club sack Emery.
United fans are finding the thought of Van Gaal coaching Di Maria again pretty funny.
