Upton Park is the last place Manchester United would pick as a venue to keep their season alive, but Louis van Gaal's team have to go there twice in the next month to keep their season from going into complete meltdown.
United face West Ham United this week in the FA Cup quarterfinal replay. It is Van Gaal's last chance of bringing a trophy to Old Trafford. Less than a month later, they will return to London's East End for the penultimate Premier League match of the season. By then, their top four hopes may be dead but it could be a straight shoot-out with West Ham for a Europa League place.
