There’s been a lot of talk recently that Louis van Gaal will find himself out of a job if Manchester United don’t win the FA Cup this season.

The idea seems to be that if they don’t make the top four then Van Gaal needs to win a trophy to have any chance of being in charge come August.

Well I’m sorry, but that’s an absolute load of rubbish. The Manchester United board need to know that Van Gaal is the man to take them forward, and one game against Crystal Palace shouldn’t decide his fate.
