Manchester United will face Crystal Palace at
Wembley stadium, looking for their first major trophy since Sir Alex Ferguson
departed at the end of the 2012/13 season.
Victory in that match could also help the Van Gaal secure his job for next season. With Jose Mourinho being touted as his successor all over the media. His 3-year contract expires at the end of next season.
However, Van Gaal insists that
Saturday’s game is, first and foremost, about securing a trophy for the
United players, staff and supporters.
“I think the interests of the club are
much more important, and also the interests of the fans are much more
important, than the manager,” he said
“Of course you have set your own aims and that is one of the aims I have had, always.
“But it is not good to speak about my
interests, it is good to speak about the interests of the club. For the
club, this is very important.
“I have read that the last FA Cup (win
for United) was 2004, so it is a long time ago. It is always exciting
when you are so close, but close is not enough, you have to win it.
“When you win silverware it is always important, because a qualification is not a title.”
