    LOUIS Van Gaal won the first trophy of his troubled Manchester United tenure on Saturday night, and it could well turn out to be the Dutchman's parting gift amid reports that he will be replaced as early as this week.

    The 64-year-old didn't have much time to celebrate the Red Devils' thrilling 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final, with various news sources, including Sky Sports and the BBC, claiming that former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho would be the club's new manager.
