Louis van Gaal says he has been involved in planning for next season at Manchester United. Speculation continues to surround the Dutchmans future, despite leading United to their first FA Cup final for nearly a decade and with his team still in the running for a top-four spot.Jose Mourinho is reportedly keen on the post should United look to replace Van Gaal in the summer, however, Sky Sports News HQ understands no agreement has been reached between the club and the former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss. Speculation continues to surround Van Gaals future at Manchester United When asked if he has been involved in the planning for next season, Van Gaal said: Yes, I am involved so thats not any discussion and its also logical because I am the manager.We have seen that we are in a transition period and when I was mentioned as the coach it was also about that we have discussed and when I took over we had more than five or six players above 32 or 33 and then you have to select and you have to buy other players. Van Gaal has led Manchester United to the FA Cup final Van Gaal was speaking ahead of his sides clash with Leicester on Super Sunday and he believes United will need to win all of their remaining league games if they are to sneak into the top four.United sit fifth in the table, five points adrift of Manchester City and Arsenal in third and fourth respectively, though they do have a game in hand and those two sides still have to play one another.However, the Red Devils face a difficult game this weekend as they host the Premier League leaders and Van Gaal knows anything less than three points would be a hammer blow to his teams top-four chances. Louis van Gaal thinks Manchester United can only postpone Leicester winning the Premier League. I think we have to beat Leicester because we are still in the race for the first positions so we have to beat them, Van Gaal said.We have to close the gap so the pressure is on us still. We have to win every game that we have to play. City still have to play against Arsenal, though, so one of those shall lose points.We are fighting for the qualification of the Champions League and we are still in the FA Cup, so we have to fight for something and we shall do it. Hopefully, we can beat Leicester City. A win for Leicester on Sunday would secure the league title and cap a fairy-tale ending to one of the more remarkable sporting stories in recent memory.Van Gaal admits even he would be pleased to see Leicester crowned champions but hopes United can postpone their celebrations for one more week. Jamie Redknapp joins Ed Chamberlain to preview Super Sunday It is good for the Premier League and the sport of football that not always the same teams are the champion, Van Gaal saidWe cannot allow that they are the champions this weekend at Old Trafford. I think they shall be the champion a week later, so we dont spoil the party, just postpone it a little bit.On the injury front, Van Gaal says England full-back Luke Shaw has now recovered from his broken leg but is unlikely to figure in next months FA Cup final against Crystal Palace. FA Cup final may come too soon for United full-back Luke Shaw Speaking to MUTV, the Dutchman said: We dont have any injuries, except Shaw, who is already not injured any more but is building up, and Schweinsteiger.Asked if Shaw could be ready to face Palace, he added: He can, maybe, but it shall be difficult because he has to play first a lot of matches in the second team. We have to wait and see because you cannot say anything. Its going very well with him. Also See: Man Utd video Man Utd fixtures Man Utd stats Get a ￡10 free bet! Justin Turner Dodgers Jersey .

"It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October.

Sandy Koufax Womens Jersey .Y. -- Canadas Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse have another World Cup gold medal after winning the two-women bobsled race on Saturday in Lake Placid, N.INDIANAPOLIS -- Miami put LeBron James right in the middle of the action Sunday night, and this time, the Indiana Pacers didnt have an answer for him or his Miami Heat teammates. By moving James to the post, the Heat won the scoring battle in the paint, kept Indiana at arms length and pulled away for a 114-96 victory and a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. "I made a conscious effort to get down in the post tonight, to put pressure on their defence," James said. "The coaching staff wanted me to be down there tonight, and my teammates allowed me to do that." It was a move reminiscent of when the Los Angeles Lakers played Magic Johnson in the post in place of the injured Kareem Abdul-Jabbar during the NBA Finals more than two decades ago. And it worked just as well. James rebounded from the two late turnovers that cost Miami in Game 2 by scoring 22 points, grabbing four rebounds and dishing out three assists. Hours after Dwyane Wade learned he would only be tagged with a flagrant foul from Game 2 and not a suspension, he finished with 18 points, eight assists and four rebounds. Chris Bosh added 15 points and three rebounds and all five Miami starters reached double figures. The move allowed Miami to outscore Indiana 56-32 in the paint. Perhaps that much should be expected from a team with this much scoring punch and that has won 23 of its last 24 on the road. The other stuff, not so much. Miami committed a playoff franchise-low one turnover in the first half and finished with only five. James finished with none. The Heat shot 54.5 per cent against a team that finished the regular season with the NBAs best defensive field goal percentage and also made 24 of 28 free throws. They matched the highest scoring output in a quarter during this seasons playoffs with 34, broke the franchise playoff record for points in a half (70) and fell one point short of tying the third-highest point total in a playoff game in franchise history. But the biggest difference between the first two games and Sunday nights rout was what James work on the inside. "It was something we wanted to get to just to help settle us and get into a more aggressive attack," coach Erik Spoelstra said of the decision to post up the 6-foot-8 James. "We wanted to be a little more aggressive, a little more committed to getting into the paint and seeing what would happen. LeBron was very committed and focused not to settle." Now, with Game 4 scheduled for Tuesday, its the Pacers turn to adjust. David West led Indiana with 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Roy Hibbert had 20 pointts and 17 rebounds.dddddddddddd Paul George finished with 13 points and eight assists, not nearly enough to keep the Pacers perfect at home in the post-season. Indiana, which fell to 6-1 at home in the playoffs, must win its next home game to even the series again. The hit couldnt have been harder. The sell-out crowd, dressed in checkered flag colours as a tribute to the Indianapolis 500 that took place earlier in the day, expected more. James refused to let the hometown fans make a difference. "He (James) was in the post doing a lot of work, and I think we have to do a better job of helping Paul out," Hibbert said. "LeBron cant get five or six dribbles to get a post move. ... We have to make adjustments. Hes obviously a low-post threat but we have to make adjustments." Miami took advantage of a wild first quarter to build a 34-30 lead, then turned the game with James taking control in a 12-point second quarter. He scored half of the points in an 8-2 run that gave the Heat what was then their biggest lead of the series, 42-32. A few minutes later, James did it again, making a 15-footer with 1.3 seconds left in the half to give Miami a 70-56 halftime lead and the franchise record. "We had to not play the score, play the lead, play the game," James said. Indiana opened the second half looking more like the team that had given Miami fits in Games 1 and 2. The Pacers hit back-to-back 3-pointers and got a three-point play from George Hill. When Lance Stephenson followed that with 1 of 2 free throws, the lead had been cut to 74-67. It didnt last. Miami countered with a 9-4 run, extended the lead to 91-76 after three and made it 99-78 early in the fourth and Indiana never challenged again -- with the 18-point margin matching Indianas worst home loss of the season -- even though James scored only four second-half points. "If youre not perfect guarding them, theyll do what they did to us tonight," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "Sometimes when you are perfect with your coverages, they still find a way to make baskets. But we didnt have a great defensive night." Notes: Miamis best scoring half before Sunday was a 68-point effort against Chicago on April 24, 2006. Miamis Chris Andersen has made 16 consecutive shots in the playoffs. ... Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean, former vice-presidential ca
