And it may be on the Dutchman's terms, too.

That's the message in the Mirror, as Van Gaal is close to quitting Manchester United as the team's form struggles.

The rest of the papers turn their attention to Sunday's marquee match in the Premier League, Arsenal vs. Chelsea.

In the Independent, the focus is on a frustrated Arsene Wenger, who bemoaned Diego Costa's theatrics that aided in getting Per Mertesacker sent off for a last-ditch tackle.
