Wayne Rooney Says Louis van Gaal Is 'By Far the Best Coach I Have Worked With'

Wayne Rooney has identified Louis van Gaal as the best coach he has played for, rather than Sir Alex Ferguson.

The D.C. United star spent the bulk of his career with Manchester United, where he enjoyed plenty of success during 13 years under Ferguson and two under Van Gaal, but it was the latter who had the biggest impact on him.
