    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Louis van Gaal, Manchester Untied head coach: (On Wayne Rooney's performance)

    "When you score two goals and you give also the assist for the third goal then you are very happy as a manager. But he is also happy I assume."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Louis van Gaal, Manchester Untied head coach: (On playing Wayne Rooney in midfield)

    "He has the capacity, the lung capacity to run 90 minutes as a midfielder. So that's why I use him also as a midfielder. But I can also use him as a striker, but for the team at this moment it is better he plays in midfield."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Louis van Gaal, Manchester Untied head coach: (On Angel Di Maria's injury)

    "It's not a muscle injury it is more that the pelvis is not in the right relationship with his leg. It's more for the doctor to explain than for me."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Louis van Gaal, Manchester Untied head coach:  (On Adnan Januzaj's absence)

    "Ill. It's a virus that is now running in the air. The virus has approached a lot of my players, but for him it was too much. Also (Marouane) Fellaini. Belgian, it is the Belgian virus."
