Louis van Gaal hopes FA Cup glory can salvage Man United's season

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal hopes to end a season of strife with a "beautiful" FA Cup win over Crystal Palace, but will do whatever it takes to get the trophy back to Old Trafford.

Van Gaal's methods have not scored too highly in the style stakes this term, and results have only been good enough for a fifth-place finish in the Premier League.
