Rooney to the rescue for Van Gaal as United edge past Swansea
United are struggling to score goals in the Premier League, with the striker duo of Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial hitting just six times so far in the season.

United had not won in their previous eight matches, their worst run since January 1990, prompting speculation over van Gaal’s future.
Rooney’s goal on Saturday gave the Red Devils a crucial three points, and put them right back into the thick of the race for a spot in the UEFA Champions League.
“Swansea have been what I call my ghost team, meaning we are looking to start this new year with what I have been told you say in England by breaking the duck.”, said the Dutchman, according to The Guardian.
Rooney’s 77th-minute moment of magic took him ahead of Denis Law to become the second-highest goalscorer in United’s history and he is now also the second-highest scorer in the Premier League era with 188 goals. I can imagine that he cannot always play in this world…
Outside the relegation zone, only West Brom, Swansea and Stoke have scored fewer goals than United this season. We scored two handsome goals.
Martial powered home Ashley Young’s cross less than two minutes after the restart to ease the tension that had built inside Old Trafford following yet another boring display in the first half.
Van Gaal sold Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez last summer, opted against a permanent move for Radamel Falcao who spent last season on loan at Old Trafford from Monaco and recently allowed England U21 worldwide James Wilson to join Brighton on a season-long loan.
“We had a good talk about it before we came away”.
Louis Van Gaal’s charges saw most of the ball in the opening exchanges but could only managed one chance when Wayne Rooney fired into the side-netting in the 20th minute.
‘We could have kept all the strikers but then there would have been a lot of strikers in the tribune [stands].
At Emirates Stadium, Koscielny scored the decisive goal for Arsenal, pouncing after Olivier Giroud headed back a corner from Mesut Ozil, but goalkeeper Petr Cech was the player to earn most praise after the match for making two outstanding saves to deny Georginio Wijnaldum. “We want to be on the front foot and play the way we want to”.

“I am very happy for the players because they had to play under big pressure and now we have won. With Herrera, it was because I wanted to waste time, as Swansea did all match”.
