Disagree, thought it was a good sign for their relationship. Rooney clearly had a laugh over it and you know he's the type that loves a pat on the head when he does well

van Gaal is so wonderfully weird.
Isn't he? He seems ridiculously touchy feely. I've seen him hug half the squad already and they haven't even played a game yet.
I guess if it works...?
He has a touch of the embarassing dad about him. But also a touch of the 'will-throw-your-Super-Nintendo-out-of-a-second-floor-window-if-you-annoy-him'. Which is pretty much the perfect combination.
Van Gaal is a legend!
I agree but you could see that Rooney felt a bit awkward. Imagine once he gets used to it more he'll love it.
Having van Gaal in charge is like a reward for having to sit through all of those defeats and shit performances last season. The man is just brilliant.
Embarrassing dad! When he runs he looks like he's at a wedding, and is on his way to the dance floor just as his favourite song is starting.
Wayne looked a little confused
I think they will get along fine as long as Rooney puts in a good shift and makes things happen, which I think he will!
Was that DDG in goal btw? Sell him
I'm guessing that was because Van Gaal asked Rooney to hit a specific spot with his corner and Rooney had failed a couple of times before finally hitting it. I've received that tongue-in-cheek/in jest reaction many times. Or Rooney hit his spot with the first corner and Van Gaal was over the moon. Either way good to see they're enjoying themselves!
The man has hardly done anything and he's "brilliant" and a "legend" because he's weird.
Considering what Moyes did to be the chosen one, 'brilliant' and even 'legend' for Van Gaal is all fine.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Anyone else getting a little blast of sound from the vines when the page loads?
Indeed. I reckon he'll outshine RVP this coming season and shut his "haters" up once and for all.
Fletcher as captain is interesting. It's either a move to boost Fletcher's confidence or LVG does have plans for him to play a big part this season. That said, I've always maintained that if Fletcher could hold a position in the first team then he should be captain without doubt.
Or maybe LVG is reluctant to hand it to someone else because he wants to have a more detailed look for captain. I.e. Rooney, Evans, Jones.
Fletcher is the easy option because he's experienced, well liked, respected and probably won't a be a huge feature in the team but has leadership qualities when needed.

It's the obvious decision for the time being. If in doubt, just give it to the oldest, most experienced player available, and with RvP and Carrick out, that's Fletcher.
Yeah, if he gives it to Rooney right now or anyone else then changing decision later will look like a snub and even cause ego bruises etc..
Fletcher is the safe choice as he is the most senior, academy product, down to earth and probably knows anyway that he won't be a regular starter this season. Won't be a problem giving it to him till he finally decides.

Dont know about anyone else, but giving Fletch captaincy just now screams to me that he wants to give it to Carrick once he's back fit....
How can Carrick be captain when he's a passenger?
Totes. All whiteys look the same to me too.
Or RVP when he has arrived. Anyway, reading bit much into it. Fletcher is more vocal than Carrick anyway.
Dont think that is the most important characteristic to Van Gaal. We shall see.
Giulio Tedeschi, FIFA agent, spoke yesterday in Europe microphones Game, Sport Cadena on recent signings of European teams.
Manchester United: "The English team is the closest to gain the services of Vidal and would be with him on the 2nd week of August."

Agree with you there.
Obviously the really big doubt is over the first half of that sentence. More's the pity.
