Official: Manchester United release statement on Van Gaal's sack

It was probably the worst kept secret when Manchester United failed to release an official statement about the future of the Dutchman, when from all indications, it seem he's been sacked.

News of his sack gained momentum, minutes after the FA Cup triumph, and at that point, it was almost certain that the Dutchman would be leaving United.

Here's the official statement from United's executive vice chairman Ed Woodward: via the club's website:

"I would like to thank Louis and his staff for their excellent work in the past two years culminating in winning a record-equalling 12th FA Cup for the club (and securing him a title in four different countries). He has behaved with great professionalism and dignity throughout his time here. He leaves us with a legacy of having given several young players the confidence to show their ability on the highest stage. Everyone at the club wishes him all the best in the future."

And a footnote on the Manchester United website read:

A decision on a successor as manager will be announced soon.
