Van Gaal is continually selecting Rooney for a few reason which no fan can see, and whilst Gerrard’s poor season at Liverpool ended with him leaving Merseyside, there is no apparent future in which Rooney leaves Old Trafford at the end of this season. This match had seen a glut of goals in recent games but this time around the game ended in a goalless draw.

Manchester United have made contact with Antoine Greizmann’s agent ahead of a transfer move, according to reports in the Metro.
Smalling’s rise to glory has seen him earmarked as the next Manchester United captain by Louis van Gaal, a stark contrast to fans calling for his sale during Louis van Gaal’s first summer transfer window at the club.
In his post-match interview with Sky Sports, he said he felt it’s a “good point”, as they “started losing so many balls” in the second-half, with lapses in concentration too.
“I am delighted that United fans will be able to celebrate Wayne’s wonderful years at the club in this way”, Woodward said. While there really wasn’t much to report in terms of attacking ability, there was one man trying to get things done for Manchester United.
The lively Lingard latched onto a pass from Anthony Martial and hit the bar before Fellaini headed down for Smalling to bring the only significant save from either goalkeeper, as Hart turned his shot behind for a corner.
“When you play 90 minutes, where you are concentrated and focused like we were, then I am proud”.
“But I thought he did great when he came on and it would have been a contender for goal of the season if it had gone in”.
Van Gaal has utilised Rooney in different positions this campaign, with the 30-year-old often operating as a playmaker in the No. 10 position before reverting to a more traditional central striking role of late. I was disappointed to be left out of the team (earlier) but it’s all about opinions.

Van Gaal was happy with the way his side controlled the game but was aggrieved not to draw level on points with the Citizens.
