Ed Woodward rejected Louis van Gaal's offer to step down as manager of Manchester United on Saturday.

The main reason is the lack of an ideal candidate to replace Van Gaal as the club would like to hire Pep Guardiola.

Van Gaal was asked to go discuss his future with friends and family before reconvening on Tuesday.

Woodward’s request to Van Gaal to reconsider is enlightening regarding how he views José Mourinho.

If he continues to not want Mourinho and is unable to get Guardiola, then Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville are two candidates with a long history at United.
