Manchester United have been calling Louis van Gaal - sparking suggestions they want permission from their former boss to talk to Cody Gakpo.
Van Gaal, 71, left his phone in a hotel toilet in Doha as he plots Holland’s path through the World Cup. It was discovered by a Dutch journalist who pressed the power button in a bid to find out who had misplaced it - and was greeted by a screenshot of Van Gaal and his wife Truus. There were also two missed calls - with a caller ID that said ‘ Manchester United.’
The mobile was immediately returned to the Holland boss, who was less than impressed that it had been found by De Telegraaf’s highly-respected football writer Valentijn Driessen.
