Louis van Gaal is pushing Ajax to consider Manchester United assistant manager Mitchell van der Gaag.

Van Gaal admires the former Ajax No2 highly and believes he should be brought back to the club if they choose to sack coach Maurice Steijn.

Steijn is under huge pressure during this international break after a poor start to the season.

And Van Gaal has put Van der Gaag's name forward, says De Telegraaf, as part of his advisory role.
