The head coach of "Manchester United" Louis van Gaal admits that Wayne Rooney is probably the best forward in his team, but the Englishman will continue to be placed in a midfielder position. Van Gaal plays with two forwards, but W. Rooney is not one of them. The Dutchman is satisfied with the duo of Radamel Falcao and Robin van Persie, while W. Rooney plays below them - in the defensive midfielder position.
"Perhaps Rooney is the best forward in our team," the strategist admitted. "But he will continue to play in the midfielder position because I have to see which player brings the most benefits to the team and choose the most suitable position."
"I agree that Rooney would look better in the forward position, but if I place him in that position, then I would have problems with the defensive midfielder position," said Van Gaal.
This season, W. Rooney, wearing the "Red Devils" jersey, played 23 matches and scored eight goals.
