Aus newspaper confuses Louis van Gaal with 'Neighbours' character Harold Bishop

An Australian newspaper appears to have confused Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal for Neighbours character Harold Bishop.

Daily publication MX wrote a story about the Dutchman, who is widely expected to be named the new Manchester United manager in the coming weeks.

However, instead of using an appropriate photograph of the coach, the newspaper accidentally accompanied the piece with an image of the Australian soap actor.

Van Gaal is expected to take over from Ryan Giggs, who was installed as interim boss until the end of the season following David Moyes's exit.
