FA Cup win could save Van Gaal

Louis van Gaal’s tenure at Manchester United has been blighted by disappointments, which has led to speculation that the Dutchman will leave the club at the end of the season.

United have failed to win a trophy since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, despite heavy outlay on transfers under the reigns of David Moyes and Van Gaal.

United hopes rest on FA Cup replay

After what has been at best a disappointing season at Old Trafford, the upcoming FA Cup replay against West Ham United perhaps provides the final opportunity for Manchester United to achieve some form of success this year.

With Louis Van Gaal also looking to the famous competition as the last chance saloon in terms of his personal job security, a trip to East London would certainly not have been the preferred destination for such a fledgling team.

Fans right to Boo Team

Louis van Gaal admitted that Manchester United supporters were right to criticise the team after they fell to a 2-1 loss against Danish champions Midtjylland in the Europa League.

This competition is now seen as a major helping step for United in their efforts to remain as a Champions League club.

Is LVG on borrowed time?

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has weathered a very difficult storm at Old Trafford this season as he has managed to survive at the club despite some poor form which sees the club outside the top four in the league table.

Although Van Gaal has been given the opportunity to turn the fortunes of his side around for now, if United do fail to qualify for the Champions League at the end of the campaign, the board may not see his future being at Old Trafford.

The Dutchman took over the reins in May 2014. In his first season with United, his opening brief was to get the club back into the Champions League following a one-year absence, which he achieved.

LVG knows that fans expect more

Since the day that Louis van Gaal was elected as the new coach of Manchester United, the Premier League club has managed to stay in the higher section of the English League but they haven’t been able to make that final push that is needed to win the league.

During the 2014-15 Premier League season, Manchester United landed the 4th spot and the Red Devils are currently positioned in the 5th spot which isn’t a terrible spot but it isn’t a fantastic one either.
