Rooney doesn't want Van Gaal as MU manager...
According to reports, Wayne Rooney has allegedly had the impertinence to ask senior club officials at Old Trafford NOT to appoint Louis Van Gaal. That won't exactly please Van Gall will it? It appears Rooney is not a fan of Van Gaal's hard line methods. It would also appear that Van Gaal is highly likely to play Rooney in midfield which as we know is not Rooney's favoured position.
In the end, no doubt Rooney will be ignored and told to check the interest in his bulging bank balance. If Van Gaal is appointed, he should probably make Roy Keane his assistant - although I accept they could clash. This may not be popular with the existing squad, but many of those will be on their way in the summer anyway. Van Gaal seems very similar to the no nonsense Ferguson and it would appear that is what united are used to and will require to get them going again.
I understand Alex Ferguson was more in favour of Ryan Giggs as permanent manager. That is more than likely because AF would have a good deal of influence over him. Van Gaal would probably just tell Ferguson to go away if he tried to interfere!

As for the Rooney stuff, sounds like a load of rubbish to me.
I doubt the rest of the MU board will give much of a toss about whether Ferguson likes or dislikes who is appointed next given his disastrous recommendation of David Moyes as manager.
Manchester United have to hit the ground running next season and the MU board will obviously make that their priority.
And you think that Roy Keane would have any impact on that?
He would only be a negative presence at the club, as much as I love the man.
Personally I don't even like the look of him........
Louis Van Gaal - "¡Siempre negativo, nunca positivo!"

Here is Mourinho's first press conference as a coach as Van Gall's assistant

The stories made up about Rooney recently have been ridiculous.
He and RVP are supposed to be on bad terms cos Rooney is not happy LVG is coming in to make RVP his main man.
He is also supposed to be angry that he won't be captain cos RVP will be when LGV is in charge.
And of course, now the latest, that Rooney has said he doesn't want LVG as his boss. Presumably whoever made it up read (or actually made up) the previous two stories ... and then came up with this one.
The sooner this LVG appointment is done and dusted the better, then bored hacks can stop making things up about Rooney and actually have something factual to write about!
Watch sparks fly if lvg is appointed
Louis Van Gaal adopts a strict authoritarian approach to management and obviously insists that things be done his way. I think he will come in and start the massive clear out required. If Rooney starts playing up, I think he will also be dispensed with pretty quickly. There is a big job to be done at MU and I doubt he will let anyone get in the way of that.
I accept that Roy Keane as LVG's assistant is unlikely but I really think it could work. Giggs will probably be given that role - or LGV may surprise us with someone we never even thought of. Eitherway, it's going to be very interesting at MU in the coming months that's for sure.
If Van Gaal comes in, I'd expect him to appoint Kluivert as assistant manager.
