Louis van Gaal has been linked with a return to management with AC Milan, according to reports in Italy.

The Dutchman was sacked by Manchester United last month after two years in charge at Old Trafford.

The 64-year-old, who won the FA Cup last season, had suggested his job at United would be his last in football after spells in charge of Ajax, Barcelona, AZ Alkmaar, Bayern Munich and Holland.

But Gazzetta dello Sport are reporting he is on the shortlist to replace Sinisa Mihajlovic at Milan along with Andre Villas-Boas and Ronald de Boer.

Van Gaal led United back into the Champions League in his first season in charge after taking over from David Moyes. in 2014.

But a fifth-place finish in the Premier League last season, coupled with a failed campaign in the Champions League, led to his dismissal a year before his contract was due to expire with Jose Mourinho appointed as his replacement.
