The striker has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer, with Fenerbahce and Valencia said to be interested.
Van Gaal is planning on using Wayne Rooney as a lone forward next season, and Van Persie will become the club's third-choice attacker if a move for either Paris Saint-Germain's Edinson Cavani or Napoli's Gonzalo Higuain materialises.
Van Persie still has a year remaining on his United contract, but the Daily Mail claims that he will meet Van Gaal shortly in order to clarify his squad status.
Fenerbahce are believed to have already made an offer as the Turkish club close in on the signing of United misfit Nani.
