You too fat man: When Man Utd manager Van Gaal mocked journalists for criticising Wayne Rooney
You too, fat man!" LvG points out the reporters who criticised 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:
