L. van Gaal: W. Rooney deserved the tournament's MVP award

After winning the friendly tournament, in the final of the US, "Manchester United" coach Louis van Gaal praised the team's forward Wayne Rooney.

"The Red Devils" defeated eternal rivals from Liverpool 3-1 in the final.

"I think he deserves the tournament's most valuable player award. Wayne made a lot of productive passes and scored goals.

However, we also stood out with good defense. The players of this team could also compete for the MVP," the Dutchman said.

"This victory brought a lot of pleasure to our fans. However, the most important matches will be against "Swansea" (August 16, in the "Premier" League) and we will have to win them," Van Gaal said.
