The editors at an Australian newspaper have reportedly been left red-faced after they confused Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal with Australian soap opera Neighbours' character Harold Bishop.

The team at Australia's daily publication MX accidentally used a picture of Bishop from Neighbours in their article about Van Gaal, who is set to become the new Manchester United boss in the coming weeks, Metro.co.uk reported.

MX was supposed to display the Dutchman in the article, but instead they treated their readers to a snap of the soap opera icon, the report further added.
