One of the best "Manchester United" players of all time, Wayne Rooney, claims that Louis van Gaal left the biggest impression on him in his career. The football specialist from the Netherlands worked together with W. Rooney from 2014 to 2016. Despite the fact that L. van Gaal's career at the "United" club did not unfold as successfully as he had hoped, W. Rooney says that working with the Dutchman was better for him than with any other coach. "Van Gaal is undoubtedly the best coach I have ever worked with. I am 100 percent sure of that," - W. Rooney told "De Telegraaf". "I was amazed by his tactical abilities, his preparation for matches, and attention to the smallest details. I admired his skills because I had never seen anything like it before. Van Gaal understands very well that it is not easy for the players to play according to his plan. I told him that and we had a good conversation about it later. I am sad about how his career at the club ended. However, I learned a lot of useful things from him during that time, which I can use when I start coaching myself," - added the Englishman currently playing in the USA.
