Nicky Butt will keep his senior position at Manchester United next season as Van Gaal looks to reinforce his link with United's heritage. The Dutchman believes that the class of 92 are intrinsically linked with United's history and will seek to maintain a relationship.
92 graduate Nicky Butt is contracted with the club and works alongside Warren Joyce with the under-21 team and manages the under-19 side in the UEFA Youth League. He looks set to keep his position under the new regime as Van Gaal looks to keep the ship steady.
Once Van Gaal was handed the job, there were suspicions that the Dutchman may look to weed out the influence of the Class of ‘92 to make way for his own backroom staff but with Giggs on board as assistant, and Butt's position under no threat, it seems that is not the case.
The future of Phil Neville, who followed David Moyes from Everton to Manchester United last summer in the position of first-team coach, remains a mystery. Neville is working as a pundit on BBC's coverage of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and is still to be informed what role, if any at all, that the club can find for him following the exit of Moyes.
