Louis van Gaal has rejected the chance to become Tottenham manager - paving the way for the Dutchman to become David Moyes' successor at Manchester United.

Van Gaal, 62, who will take Holland to this summer's World Cup in Brazil, was believed to be lining up to take over at White Hart Lane next season.

But he has also been monitoring events at Old Trafford and Dutch sources claim that Van Gaal has now told Spurs that he is no longer interested in the job.

Van Gaal has an outstanding CV that has seen him win titles in Holland, Spain and Germany with Ajax, AZ Alkmaar, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

He has also developed a close relationship with United striker Robin van Persie since becoming Holland boss two years ago and would love the opportunity to resurrect the fortunes of the fallen champions.
