Premier League chief Richard Scudamore releases a statement in reaction to being told he will face no further action despite sending sexist emails.

He said: "Entering into email exchanges of this nature was wrong and the apology I have made is sincere, as is the contrition I feel. These exchanges do not reflect my views towards women in football, the workplace or in general. It is something that will never be repeated.

"I appreciate that I have a tremendous amount of hard work to do to convince those in the game who do not know me that my leadership and work in the areas of equality and discrimination to date reflect who I am and what I believe.

"So, I will now undertake meetings and discussions with a wide range of stakeholders in the game to hear their views and to reassure them that I will continue to do my utmost personally, and through all the Premier League's means to help promote diversity and inclusion, develop the women's game and support women who want be involved in football at any level."

Van Gaal has signed a three-year contract to take over at Old Trafford after the World Cup, with Ryan Giggs as his assistant.

Mourinho said: "He is a great football manager and I am happy he joins me in the same country and the Premier League. But more important than that, he's a great guy, a great man and I wish him good."

Former Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan says Louis van Gaal's "strong personality" will have made him the ideal fit to take over at Old Trafford.

Phelan tells BBC Radio 5 live: "I've met Van Gaal a couple of times and he's got a very strong personality about him. But at a club like Manchester United, that's what is required. You have to hit the ground running and I'm sure he will do.

"There's been a lot of talk about Van Gaal and his methods, but he does the job a manager has to do and he's a very good coach."

"Louis van Gaal's appointment appears to be good news for Manchester United striker Robin van Persie after an injury-troubled season punctuated by suggestions of an uneasy relationship with David Moyes and what seemed a dysfunctional partnership with Wayne Rooney.

"Van Gaal is close to Van Persie, who cherishes such a relationship with his managers. He made him captain of the Dutch national team so it would seem certain he will be pivotal to the new Old Trafford era.

"As a man not known for diplomacy, Van Gaal must tread a fine line in this area. It would be a hazardous occupation to be seen as favouring Van Persie over Rooney, who could hold his head up high as a player who gave everything for David Moyes."

BBC Sport's Simon Stone: "Speaking to Ryan Giggs after matches, when he occasionally stopped whilst still shivering from the after-effects of an ice-bath, or quickly before a game to fit in with the yoga regime credited with clearing up those long-standing hamstring issues, he seemed so normal.

"The aura was shattered by well-documented allegations about his private life, which forced Giggs into his shell for an extensive period, when he refused to carry out any in-depth interviews, bruised and battered as he was by such private matters being aired in public. Those issues have been dealt with now. The polite, personable Giggs is back.

"When Ryan Giggs made his debut John Major was Prime Minister, the first George Bush was president of the United States. The United great is a footballer from another era - an era that ended on Monday."

"On almost every level, Louis van Gaal's appointment represents a significant change from the criteria Manchester United applied when bringing in David Moyes as successor to Sir Alex Ferguson when he retired after 26 years as manager.

"Moyes often seemed grateful United had come to him. Van Gaal will feel no such awe - indeed he may feel exactly the opposite. He will believe it is only right that executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward chose someone of his calibre to undertake the great rebuild.

"Stalking the touchline with menace, often carrying a clipboard for added impact, Van Gaal will not shy away from confrontation - if there are cages to be rattled and egos to be rocked at United he will be very comfortable doing the rocking and rolling."
