It's finally true.

Not even the F.A Cup could spare Louis van Gaal from the sack, as Manchester United are set to replace the Dutchman at Old Trafford. LvG saw his side beat Crystal Palace to lift their first F.A Cup since 2004 today, but rumours that he was about to be sacked have been building over the last number of weeks. Minutes after the club lifted the trophy at Wembley, the BBC  reported that van Gaal's reign will be ended this Monday, and Mourinho will be appointed on Tuesday. joe There so far has been no confirmation from the club, but the news is no surprise after the Dutchman failed to make the top four this season in the Premier League. He did turn up for the post-match press conference, however. https://twitter.com/henrywinter/status/734116319222767616 And once again denied he is about to be sacked. https://twitter.com/RobHarris/status/734115928569466880 And he wasn't happy. https://twitter.com/ncustisTheSun/status/734115874332938240 https://twitter.com/MiguelDelaney/status/734115641876156416 However, despite his denial, it seems the end is in sight for van Gaal, and the club's long-suffering fans.
