You too fat man: When Man Utd manager Van Gaal mocked journalists for criticising Wayne Rooney

Manager Louis van Gaal has consistently defended his captain and was clearly irked by a question about the 30-year-old striker during a post-match news conference. "We don't speak any more about Wayne Rooney, you have criticised him, I didn't," said a stony-faced Van Gaal as he got up from his chair and brought proceedings to an abrupt end. And if that wasn't enough he turned around to point to a journalist "You too fat man"

The England captain became the second highest Premier League goal-scorer of all-time when he was on target against Swansea City earlier this month and is now 70 goals behind Alan Shearer's record haul of 260. Then he ended a run of 553 minutes without a goal for his club by deftly flicking in a cross to secure a 2-1 triumph against Swansea that halted a sequence of six league games without a victory for Van Gaal's side. The United striker also became England's record scorer when he grabbed his 50th international goal in a 2-0 Euro 2016 qualifying win over Switzerland in September. He scored his 51st in a friendly against France in November.

When Van Gaal is not grappling with questions about 'boring football, he can be actually fun.  Watch LVG dance:
