Man Utd made a mistake sacking Van Gaal – Rooney

Wayne Rooney feels Manchester United were wrong to sack Louis van Gaal in 2016 after two years at the Old Trafford helm.

Van Gaal was axed in favour of Jose Mourinho shortly after winning the FA Cup, with United having finished outside of the top four in the Premier League.

Under Mourinho, United finished sixth in the final 2016-17 Premier League standings but won both the EFL Cup and Europa League.

Yet Rooney, who was United’s captain at the time, insists the club should have given Van Gaal another year to prove he could be a success. (Text, photo byVanguard)
