Though the primary talking point of today’s FA Cup Final might be the dance moves of Alan Pardew…
Louis Van Gaal can take plenty of pride in having led a 10-man Man United to a major trophy in his second season at the club.
Jesse Lingard’s extra-time winner was enough to bring the trophy back to Old Trafford, but was it enough to save the Dutchman’s job?
No way, José.
Reports are rife on Twitter than Van Gaal is to be relieved of his managerial duties tomorrow morning in preparation for the announcement of José Mourinho as Man United’s third manager in as many years.
Whatever about LVG's suitability, for the Mourinho stories to leak just before the manager's press conference is a little crass. #FACupFinal

Strong suggestions here at Wembley that Jose Mourinho will be confirmed as Man Utd manager imminently #MUFC

Good way for LVG to bow out. But that's it. Club plan to tell him Monday & announce Mourinho new boss Tuesday.

With Klopp, Guardiola and Mourinho all in Premier League it’s fair to say that the league has far better managers than it does players at the moment.
