On the plus side Rooney looks totally disinterested in playing for Van Gaal.

He did not want to play for Ferguson at the end of his tenure, nor did he really want to play for Moyes because they fell out once when he was a kid, now he does not want to play for van Gaal.

Yet there he is, a constant throughout this period of not wanting to play for a succession of managers, playing.

Perhaps his impact as a footballer has diminished somewhat over the years but that happens, quite often in fact with one who has started their career at such an early age.

Still a mighty fine footballer, though bald and I suspect indubitably thick.
