Sacked Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has returned to the city to visit his favourite restaurant.

The Dutchman, who was replaced by Jose Mourinho at the end of last season, was accompanied by his wife Truus as he enjoyed a trip to Wing's.

The Van Gaals arrived in the owner's £300,000 Bentley car as he returned to Manchester to say his final goodbyes before moving back to the Netherlands.

They enjoyed a four-hour stay inside the city centre venue, eventually heading back home at midnight.

Van Gaal's two-year spell in charge of United came to an end days after winning the FA Cup in May.

During his time in England, he was regularly seen at Wing's restaurant and struck up a close friendship with the owner.

Wayne Rooney and former Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini have also been seen at the restaurant in the past.

Pellegrini's successor at the Etihad, Pep Guardiola, has already checked out the eatery despite only living in England for a matter of weeks.

Van Gaal, meanwhile, is on the lookout for his next role in football and has been linked with the vacant post with the Belgium national team.

The Belgian FA are beginning their hunt for a new boss after Marc Wilmots was dismissed this week following the nation's disappointing Euro 2016 campaign.

The Dutchman planned to walk away from management following the end of his United tenure, but Francois De Keersemacker, the president of the Belgian FA, has told Van Gaal he will be "evaluated" if he wants to become Belgium's new manager.

"Van Gaal might be a potential candidate," De Keersmaecker told reporters on Friday. "We will see if he puts himself forward as a candidate. If he does then we will evaluate his candidacy."
