Manchester United are expecting the imminent arrival of Jose Mourinho as their new manager following the sacking of Louis Van Gaal. Despite being one of the greatest managers in the game with success at every club he has been at, the expected appointment of Mourinho is dividing opinion.

Louis Van Gaal has been sacked as manager of Manchester United following another disappointing season, despite their recent FA Cup final win over Crystal Palace at the weekend.

As another action packed Premier League season draws to a close, Football Ticket Pad picks its Premier League team of the season.

As another season draws to a close, it is the time when many footballers call time on their careers. Some go into coaching, others into management and a handful into punditry.

The FA Cup appears to be the only saving grace for both under-fire managers as Roberto Martinez and Louis Van Gaal contest for a place in the final at Wembley. Roberto Martinez’ position appears to have reached breaking point in a season defining week which has already seen his side lose to Southampton and later humiliated by Liverpool in a damaging 4-0 Merseyside derby defeat at Anfield, as fans begin to lose their patience with the Spaniard. A short distance along the M62 to nearby Manchester, Louis Van Gaal faces a future of uncertainty following another mediocre season. The jury is well and truly out on the Dutchman, who despite looking set to seal a top four finish, an FA Cup triumph still might not be enough to keep him at Old Trafford next season.

In the night's other games, there were victories for Manchester United and West Ham United who both continued their push for Champions League qualification with comfortable wins over Crystal Palace and Watford respectively.
