Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal has told reporters "it's over" after it was reported Jose Mourinho would be replacing him.

Van Gaal has faced growing criticism after United crashed out of the Champions League in the group phase this year and then failed to qualify for next season's competition.
Fans have also complained about the team's style of football, branding it dull and unadventurous, and have booed them off the pitch on a number of occasions.
