BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has tipped Manchester United to be the better side and win when both sides meet at Wembley on Saturday.
This United side will be hoping to win a title the team hasn't won in the last decade.
It's been a season of underachievement for United, and winning the FA Cup can help brighten things up at Old Trafford, even though the future of Van Gaal still remain uncertain.
Mark told the BBC:
"I see Manchester United dominating possession in Saturday's FA Cup final and Crystal Palace will have to play at a high tempo to disrupt them and cause them any problems.
"Palace have played on the break all season, because they have quick forwards who can be their match-winners.
"But United's patient approach will not see them committing many men forward, and opportunities for Alan Pardew's side to counter-attack will be few and far between.
"United will be in control of the ball and therefore they will be in control of the game.
"For Palace to win they will need their whole team to function pretty much as well as they can do and I don't think they are playing well enough for that to happen."
Mark finally predicts a 2-0 United victory.
