Presumably they had to do this to smooth the way for Van Gaal to take over? I can see a Dutch influence coming to the Lane - Huntelaar, Strootman, Blind and Sneijder to replace Soldado, Capoue, Naughton and Dembele?

I must say Van Gaal is a very good fit with Spurs, what with Vertonghen and Eriksen ex-Ajax players. I don't think they could find themselves a better manager. The X Factor is if Man Utd bite the bullet with Moyes.

Or Vertongen leaves this summer for a CL club. He's already been making his feelings known via his associates.
