Wayne Rooney explains why Man Utd players struggled under Louis van Gaal

Wayne Rooney has praised the man-management Erik ten Hag has employed for Marcus Rashford and revealed Manchester United players did not enjoy Louis van Gaal's methods

Wayne Rooney has praised Erik ten Hag and claimed many of his former Manchester United teammates did not enjoy playing under Louis van Gaal.

Van Gaal was dismissed immediately in the aftermath of guiding the club to the FA Cup in 2016 – their first major trophy in the three years since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement. The Dutchman had stabilised United’s results after David Moyes disastrously succeeded Ferguson in 2013 but failed to deliver a title challenge.

Rooney was the captain under Van Gaal at Old Trafford and the former forward did not believe that United should have parted ways with the Dutchman at the end of that 2015/16 campaign, as he believed that the club were moving in the right direction
