Wayne Rooney helps Louis van Gaal pick Man United’s team & coaching staff [Sun]

The Sun on Sunday have some exclusive quotes from Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal on his relationship with star striker Wayne Rooney.

Man United return to action on Sunday in the Premier League with an away trip to Swansea.

Rooney will be hoping the occasion proves profitable, as the striker continues to search for his first Premier League goal of the season.

Rooney had recently suffered a goal drought, but that came to a crashing end in the Champions League last week, when Rooney scored a hat-trick away at Club Brugge.

Van Gaal has now revealed Rooney’s influence behind the scenes at Old Trafford, as the Dutch boss has announced that Rooney helps him pick not only the United team but he also affects the coaching staff too. As reported by the BBC, Van Gaal told the Sun:

Things like the selection and the kitchen and the members of the staff, everything you can mention, he is involved.

I think he trusts me so that is also very important and I trust him. So when he comes to me and has remarks I always pay attention.

Wayne Rooney, 29, has scored 233 goals for Manchester United. He needs four more to equal Denis Law’s total of 237 and 16 to equal the club’s all-time top scorer.
