Louis van Gaal "totally" has the support of the Manchester United hierarchy, according to sources. United plans to bring Van Gaal back next season on a deal worth a similar amount of money as last summer.

Van Gaal's future has come into question following United's elimination in the FA Cup quarterfinals.

In their next five games, United, who are fourth in the table, face four of the top six: Tottenham Hotspur at home, Liverpool away, Manchester City at home and Chelsea away.
