As pressure mounts on Louis van Gaal’s position at Manchester United, Wayne Rooney insists players are still fighting for the manager to turn their season around.
United have failed to win their last six games in all competitions, which have included crashing out of the Champions League at the group stage and slipping out of the Premier League top four, while the Dutchman has been criticised for a lacklustre style of play.
The 69-year-old cut a press conference short on Wednesday following suggestions that sacked Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is being lined up as his replacement, but Rooney is adamant that players are still behind Van Gaal.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the United captain said: ‘In the last few weeks results haven’t been great for us and its been frustrating as a player to deal with. We have to be strong and stay together to get the results that we need.
‘Obviously, there are a lot of people talking about things they believe are happening when in reality people writing that stuff and don’t really know what’s happening.
‘We are working hard, we are fighting for the manager to try and turn the season around. It’s important we all stick together.’
