Wembley awaits: Rashford's moment of genius buys Van Gaal more time

Manchester United edged past West Ham in a thrilling FA Cup replay at Upton Park, with the young forward on the scoresheet again to ensure his manager fights on.

LONDON -- His days have looked numbered more than once this season, but Louis van Gaal constantly finds a way to hold onto his job as Manchester United manager. The 2-1 victory over West Ham on Wednesday sends his side to Wembley and is just the latest result to keep the wolves from the door.

United will head to the national stadium on Saturday week to face Everton in the FA Cup semifinal thanks to second-half goals from Marcus Rashford and Marouane Fellaini in their quarterfinal replay at Upton Park, and nobody will be more thankful of their progress in the competition than Van Gaal.
