#264 – The End

The end – for Manchester United’s season and for Louis van Gaal’s time at United. At least the old boy went out with some silverware to show for it after one of the most miserable campaign’s in living memory ended with the Dutchman facing the sack. Van Gaal’s time at United has been a failure, even if it concluded with the veteran coach defiantly parading the FA Cup in front of the media on Saturday night. Plus ça change, Louis. Welcome, José. Ed & Paul cover all the main talking points from United’s 2-1 extra time victory over Crystal Palace at Wembley. It was a classic ‘game of two halves’ (three!) which featured a spectacular winning goal from Jesse Lingard and a fine captains performance from Wayne Rooney. Van Gaal’s dismissal and Mourinho’s arrival are covered in full, while there’s a look back on the season with the coveted Rant Cast Awards. Rant Cast takes a break until August, although there will be a special series of Le Rant Cast Euro, covering the European Champsionships in France this summer.
