Loud boos rang around Old Trafford following the final whistle of Saturday’s game as Van Gaal endured what he later described as the worst reaction he has heard from United supporters.

Conflicting reports have suggested the Dutchman is set to lose his job at Old Trafford in the coming days while others say he may still see out the season.

Rooney has been in poor form so far this season, scoring just two League goals in ten appearances, but Louis van Gaal described him as a “fantastic player”.

Paul Scholes has blasted his former club Manchester United and also said that he would not like to play under the Louis van Gaal regime.

Louis van Gaal believes Manchester City are favourites to win the derby at Old Trafford on Sunday.
