Louis van Gaal will be armed with a 6million-a-year salary and a £200million transfer budget to help him ‘make history’ as Manchester United’s new manager.
The Holland coach’s appointment as David Moyes’ successor on a three-year deal was finally confirmed at 2pm on Monday
Van Gaal will officially start work after the World Cup, but he has already begun shaping United’s fortunes for next season, by ordering a series of backroom departures and arrivals and drawing up a list of transfer targets.
While Germany defenders Mats Hummels and Holger Badstuber, midfielders such as Toni Kroos and Arjen Robben and striker Mario Mandzukic are all under consideration
Van Gaal can top up his basic salary with a hefty bonus for reaching the Champions League, and it was apparent from his demeanour that he intends cashing in at the earliest opportunity.
