Man United drop Rooney against Stoke
“As a club, as a group of players, as staff and as a manager, everyone together we have to stick together, we have to win football matches”.

United captain Wayne Rooney had watched it all from the sidelines after being dropped to the bench for the first time in a league match in nearly two years.
Writing in the match programme for United’s home game against Chelsea on 28 December, Van Gaal said he is experiencing the worst period of his Old Trafford career.
The Red Devils have lost their last three games in all competitions, have not won in six and were booed off after losing to Norwich last weekend. We regularly have meetings with myself and the other senior players in the squad and with the manager as well. “I’m working hard to improve that and try and do my best for the team”. Do they perform a climb-down on Sir Bobby Charlton’s previous comments that Mourinho “is a good manager, but not a United manager” in reference to some of his more edgy off-field antics?
“But there was always an expectation that we were going to win”.
“You’re getting sacked in the morning”, the home fans sang, not showing much originality but probably venturing close to the truth. We get hurt because we’re proud people and proud to play for Manchester United.
Depay, a winger in the right back position, was unaware that Glen Johnson was primed to dart in and seize possession before crossing for Krkic, who took a touch then slotted the ball into the net in the 19th minute. They only managed two against Norwich last week, and had bettered that within the first half-hour here, though what was rather more important was that when Stoke produced their first shot on target, after nearly 20 minutes, David de Gea had to retrieve the ball from the back of his net.
“We all have families and sometimes there’s a lot of stuff that gets written which is not nice for your family to see”, Rooney added. They have called me a lot of times and also Arsène Wenger is saying something about that.
Andrei Kanchelskis has criticized Van Gaal for his style of play, suggesting that he does not understand English football as he follows a very different mantra to what Manchester United are used to. I did a speech and I felt the warmth and support of everybody in Carrington.

Asked whether or not he still felt he was the man who could get them our of their current slump, the Dutchman acknowledged that the pressure would keep growing on him with every passing game: “It’s more hard because I’m also part of the four matches that we have lost, so people are looking at me so I have to deal with that”.
