(Reuters) - Louis van Gaal's future at Manchester United will likely depend on the outcome of the FA Cup final next month just like it did for English football's most successful manager Alex Ferguson in 1990, Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew has said.

Palace meet United at Wembley next month in a repeat of the 1990 final. Winning that trophy reportedly helped keep Ferguson at United then. The Scot went on to win 13 Premier League titles and four more FA Cups during a trophy-laden career.
