Former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is helping Ajax prepare for next week's Europa League final.

The Mirror says Van Gaal and Ajax chief Peter Bosz were seen deep in discussion this week at an annual presentation day for Dutch league managers.

Bosz believes no one knows Mourinho's tactical ideas better than Van Gaal, who was once his tutor.

Van Gaal will still be on the United payroll for the final in Stockholm next Wednesday, with his financial settlement not ending until June 30.
