However, Van Gaal will boss the club – based in North Holland – for just one game as part of a fundraising drive.

Supporters can buy lottery tickets for the chance to serve as his assistant during the match.

Van Gaal played in midfield for Telstar in  the 1977-78 season before joining Sparta Rotterdam.

And now he’s set to return as manager for a one-off fixture.

The Dutchman told fans: “If you want to make a mess of a game alongside me, buy a lottery ticket.”

The tickets cost £2.50 each, with the draw to be made on July 17.

Other prizes include Dutch Grand Prix tickets, PlayStations, shower units and football kits.

Former Holland, Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach Van Gaal spent two seasons at Old Trafford.
