Sorry to break it to you, but nobody gives a rat's ass for FA cup, in 21st century, other than old-timers who are sentimental about it. It is for the teams from lower leagues and for the teams that are unable to win anything else.
As for football under LvG - yes we are playing MUCH better football now. The last game notwithstanding, every single United game this season was very intense. LvG's football was lethargic and sleep-inducing. It was the most frustrating and boring crap I have ever seen United be part of. And it was not going anywhere even if you gave him 10 years. Not to mention that the guy was retiring next year, so he would have abandoned us anyway. Not sacking LvG would have been criminal, it was so obvious. If anything they gave him way too much time due to his past glory and brilliant reputation.
That FA Cup is what got us into Europe and won the EL which got us into the CL. Tell that to the players at United who won the FA Cup. As for us winning the League under Ole then you are living in fantasy land. The FA Cup is the second most important trophy in England after the league. We did not get into the CL due to goal difference. Yes LVG was boring to hell but Ole is not boring to everyone else because we are so pathetic in defence and so open where we have kept a clean sheet probably for one game? The man has no clue and has no track record of winning anything. Give me LVG over Ole any day. He may be boring but at least he has implemented a style of play with his teams and yes he fecked up at United mostly because Woodward has no clue as to what he wanted from his manager.
