Louis van Gaal hails Wayne Rooney after landmark goal
Louis van Gaal has provided more information on the injuries sustained by Phil Jones and Ashley Young after the victory.

Swansea was causing problems down United’s left, where halftime substitute Matteo Darmian was being overrun, and the goal came from that flank.
“They were two very well-worked goals and to see your two strikers get on the scoresheet, hopefully with the number of chances that we create it’s only a matter of time until these goals start coming and fingers crossed they’ll start coming now”.
“It is unbelievable and that on the age of 30 years”, said Van Gaal, who was unaware of the feat until Rooney informed him after the final whistle.
“I shall think that now the pressure is lowering, the performance shall be better every week”, the United manager said.
ON UNITED’S CHARACTER AFTER SWANSEA EQUALISED: “Of course you could see there was a little drop in the team, but they had enough courage to continue and that you have seen”.
The club have recorded seven goalless draws this term and in the last 25 league matches, they have only scored 25 goals.
“Chris Smalling has been getting all the limelight but I would say the unsung hero so far this season is Daley Blind, we haven’t conceded that many and he has been a big part of that. We were lucky it was wide of our goal because it was a very good header and he was free”.
The England captain has played 99 more times than Law so his strike-rate is poorer than the Scot’s, but Van Gaal insists nothing should detract from Rooney’s achievement. For me, it is more important he scores now and he scores today (Saturday).
“The problem can be solved with money but also on the training pitch”. “That was something not many players can do. So it’s unusual and they are angry also and want to change the situation”.
“I hope that it can give a boost to him, because the goal was fantastic”.
The Red Devils have lacked quality in their attack as legend Wayne Rooney has been in an acute lack of form all season while new signing Anthony Martial has not been much of a goalscorer this season while another new signing Memphis Depay has not been able to make much of an impact all season and has lived up to his expectations.

“I hope (that is the case)”, Van Gaal said. “But you can not always do that”. We’re disappointed with the way we’ve played over the past few games, although we did well against Chelsea, but by no means are we out of (the title race).
