Man Utd plan down Van Gaal deal report 
Manchester United have played down a report that Louis van Gaal has agreed to become the club's new manager. The Netherlands coach, 62, has been the bookmakers' favourite to replace David Moyes since his sacking on Tuesday.
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported he has signed a deal with United but the club have denied the claim. "There is nothing to report," a spokesman said.
"We have not signed a new manager. When we have something to report, we will announce it." Van Gaal is under contract with the Dutch national team until the end of the World Cup finals in Brazil and has previously been linked with a summer move to Tottenham.
However, De Telegraaf suggests that he has been negotiating with a United delegation this week in Portugal.
In the interim, Ryan Giggs has taken charge of United. The Welshman has been given control for the final four matches of the Premier League campaign,
beginning with Saturday's visit of Norwich, but is not expected to be appointed on a permanent basis.
"I've got a chance to show what I can do," said the 40-year-old. "My focus is the next four games - not five years down the line.
"What happens at the end of the season is another conversation."
