Van Gaal says it's over for him at Manchester United
Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal has told Sky Sports "it's over" after it emerged Jose Mourinho would almost certainly be replacing him.
Sky sources say Mourinho's agent Jorge Mendes will fly to the UK from China on Tuesday to finalise a deal.
Manchester United and Mourinho have both declined to comment.
But Van Gaal seemed to admit that the 2-1 FA Cup final win over Crystal Palace on Saturday would be his final game in charge as he left the team's hotel on Sunday morning.

The Dutchman said simply "it's over" after SSN HQ reporter James Cooper wished him "good luck".
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.
However, the extra-time FA Cup victory was the first time the club had lifted the trophy in 12 years.

On Saturday, as he sat with the trophy in front of him, Van Gaal refused to address speculation about his future.
He told reporters: "I show you the cup and I don't discuss it with my friends of the media, who already sacked me for six months.
"Which manager can do that, what I have done?"

Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea in December after a miserable start to the season, but he enjoyed considerable success in the Premier League previously with three titles.
He refused to comment on the job when he was questioned at a boxing match on Saturday night.
