Ronald de Boer believes Louis van Gaals Manchester United departure was badly handled by the club. Jose Mourinho is expected to sign a deal to succeed Van Gaal by Thursday and will be tasked with lifting the 13-time Premier League champions after their fifth-place finish last season.Saturdays FA Cup win over Crystal Palace was Uniteds first piece of silverware since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club in 2013. Sky sources believe Van Gaal was informed on Sunday night that he would no longer be in charge of the club and the move was confirmed just after 8.30pm on Monday evening. Ronald De Boer thinks Louis vaan Gaal was treated badly by Manchester United Van Gaal asked for the news of his departure not to be broken until he had boarded a flight for Portugal, and executive vice chairman Ed Woodward agreed to the request after delivering the news at the Dutchmans Manchester home, but De Boer believes Van Gaals exit was poorly managed.If I just think of the owners perspective - they were fighting for the important fourth place and the FA Cup - if they announced it before [the end of the season] that would maybe have an effect on the result, he told Sky Sports News HQ.I understand from the perspective that they announce it later. But still, a manager like Louis van Gaal with all his history, I dont think he deserved a goodbye like that. Jose Mourinho is set to become Manchester United manager However, the former Netherlands midfielder does think Mourinho will do a good job in charge of Manchester United, but must perform instantly if he wishes to keep a secure job status.Hes a coach who gets results and thats something, he added. Hes one of the best, you only have to look at his record. We know hes a great manager.Of course it will be a challenge, its not that easy at Manchester United. Its a club where theres so much pressure. Of course he can handle it but if he doesnt get the results in the first year he will face the same [consequence as LVG].

Mohamed Diame put West Ham ahead in the 47th minute before goals by substitutes Carlton Cole and Joe Cole condemned Fulham to a fifth straight defeat, keeping the visitors in the bottom three.Third base is a relatively shallow position, giving the best hot corner options even more relative value. Leaving aside now-first-baseman Miguel Cabrera, the best of the bunch has been Texas Adrian Beltre who, over the past five seasons, sits just behind Tampa Bays Evan Longoria in runs, home runs and RBI, but has a batting average nearly 30 points higher, enough to get the nod, particularly since Beltre has stayed relatively healthy throughout his career. Thats not to say that Longoria isnt great; hes hit 30-plus homers three times and he played 160 games last season, but missed 117 in the previous two years, so that hangs over any decision to take him. The injury bug has caught the Mets David Wright in two of the past three seasons, causing him to miss 50 or more games in 2011 and 2013, but hes also a career .301 hitter who has power and has added at least 15 stolen bases per season in eight of the past nine years. Washingtons Ryan Zimmerman has belted at least 25 homers in four of the past five seasons, and that consistency makes him better than most at the position. While those have the longer track record, there are some that are newer to the hot corner that also have put up big numbers. Oaklands Josh Donaldson had a breakout season in 2013 and Seattles Kyle Seager has back-to-back 20 home run seasons. St. Louis Matt Carpenter, who might have more value at his previous position of second base, but he led the NNational League with 126 runs scored last year, while hitting .dddddddddddd18, and that works at any position. Beyond that, there are more challenges involved. San Diegos Chase Headley followed up a breakthrough 2012 season with a dramatic drop-off in 2013, so take your chances. Pittsburghs Pedro Alvarez led the National League with 36 home runs last season, but also whiffed a league-high 186 times on his way to a .233 batting average, so you pay a price to get that power; probably enough to avoid Alvarez unless hes filling a corner infield spot. In his mid-30s and coming an injury-shortened season, Milwaukees Aramis Ramirez can still mash when healthy -- more than 25 home runs in eight of the past 10 seasons. A couple of rising stars may still be a year or two away from being huge fantasy contributors, but its worth keeping Baltimores Manny Machado, coming back from knee injury, and Colorados Nolan Arenado have potential thats worth investing in at some point. Others with upside include Torontos Brett Lawrie, who is still untapped potential, and San Franciscos Pablo Sandoval has dropped some weight, so might be a bit of a sleeper. Really, beyond the top handful of choices at third base, a lot of the appeal is in the eye of the beholder Scott Cullen can be reached at Scott.Cullen@bellmedia.ca and followed on Twitter at http://twitter.com/tsnscottcullen.
