“A total of almost 500,000 supporters have attended previous games during our visits to China and we have always enjoyed exceptional support in the country, so naturally it is something that everybody is very much looking forward to this summer.” And according to The Sun, United have dropped the biggest hint yet that Van Gaal won't be in charge next season. The document failed to mention the Dutchman's name at all as they outlined their plans and there is no mention of Van Gaal's name on their website either.
