Louis van Gaal buoyant despite Rooney’s 15-hour drought

Louis van Gaal is not concerned about Wayne Rooney’s form despite the fact he has gone over 15 hours without a Premier League goal.

Rooney heads into Manchester United’s match against Sunderland today having gone 954 minutes without finding the net in the top flight.

The United captain has scored four goals in the cup competitions and three in his last four England internationals, but not since the victory over Aston Villa on April 4 has he notched in the league.
