Louis Van Gaal has a book out in Holland and asked Wayne Rooney to write the foreword. In it, the former Manchester United captain describes Van Gaal as the manager who taught him the most. He also claims United should not have sacked the Dutchman.
Those of us whose job it was to cover United specifically five or six years ago would disagree with the second bit. If ever there was a walking example of how time catches up with even the best coaches, Van Gaal was it. Rooney certainly had his own moments with the United manager.
