And on the victory and how the side players, Van Gaal said as reported by manutd.com: “We’ve started the new year very well”.
The clever back-heel finish was Rooney’s 188th Premier League goal, taking him past former United striker Andy Cole and into second place behind Alan Shearer.
Swansea nearly had the last laugh when goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski came close to a stunning headed equaliser, but van Gaal said: “Ashley Young has played a lot of matches in a row”.
Rooney also regained his appetite to run at defenders, and there was one moment before the break when his sublime cross-field 50-metre pass suggested that he still has it in him.
“It was his left foot behind his right foot”, Van Gaal said.

Swansea were quite content to sit back and soak up the pressure, with the hope of catching them on the counter with the pace of Andre Ayew and Wayne Routledge.
“Also against Chelsea we played very risky because we want to press”. That’s the reason – it’s not that we want to play risky football. The Dutchman has been criticised for playing a style that curbs the attacking instincts of his players and it seems like the manager is switching to a more attacking style of play, which is clearly paying dividends.
After a goalless first half, Anthony Martial put United ahead in the 47th minute when he clinically headed home from Ashley Young’s cross.
“We can not allow the gap to grow”, said the United boss, who has lost all three of his matches against Swansea.
