Winning the FA Cup (Man Utd's 1st trophy in 3 years) hasn't done Louis van Gaal much good. Mourinho is going to replace him. Well, the owners are apparently pissed off Utd only finished 5th in the League, thus not getting into next season's Champions' League. OK, they might want a better League manager; but why pick the manager who was sacked last season with a record of won 4, drew 3, lost 9?

I was sad that Palace lost, but they played a good game. Couldn't capitalize on that red card, but they still had nothing to be ashamed of.

Mourinho....LOL

Louis van Gaal has indicated his reign as Manchester United’s manager has finished. The Dutchman said “it’s over” as he left the Manchester United hotel on Sunday morning following his side’s 2-1 extra-time victory over Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

With intense speculation that he is to be replaced by the former Chelsea manager José Mourinho, Van Gaal was asked by a Sky Sports reporter if he would stop to speak. He refused but said: “It’s over.”
