Man Utd Win the FA Cup; Too Late to Save Louis Van Gaal

Louis Van Gaal is to be replaced by Jose Mourinho in the wake of his FA Cup final victory over Crystal Palace according to sources within Sky Sports.

On Saturday, Louis Van Gaal won the FA Cup. On Sunday, he told Sky Sports reporters that, ‘it was over.’

According to a Sky Sports source, victory in the FA Cup final was never going to be sufficient to save Van Gaal’s job. That moment passed when they lost 3-2 against West Ham in Upton Park’s swansong performance; shutting United out of the Champions League.

The FA Cup would provide United with automatic passage into the group stages of the Europa League. That’s not good enough for a team of United’s history and stature.
