The Red Devils performed well below expectations in the 2015-16 campaign, finishing in fifth place in the Premier League table with Saturday's FA Cup win the only real positive.
Jose Mourinho has been heavily linked with stepping straight in to replace the Dutchman, with Van Gaal having been given the boot despite a year being left to run on what was a three-year contract with the club.
The pressure has been heavy on Van Gaal's shoulders all season long and with Mourinho having been out of work since his sacking by Chelsea back in December, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager has been under even further scrutiny.
The Dutchman having guided United back into the Champions League in his first season prior to his team's struggles in 2015-16, where they were knocked out of the group stage of Europe's premier club competition and suffered a Europa League exit at the hands of Liverpool.
