In the latest podcast, Rooney talked about some details of working with Dutch coach Van Gaal during his time at Manchester United.

Roney: I love him, he is very funny. When he first met Colleen (Rooney’s wife), we had dinner with all the players, the players’ partners, the staff.

Van Gaal came to Colleen, and this was their first meeting. Van Gaal said, "Your children look like their fathers." She said, "Yes."

Van Gaal said, "His sperm (genes) is very strong." This is the first time they met!

Roney: He is so interesting and has a good personality. We just kept moving forward, I really like him.

He is different and interesting, but as a coach I probably learned more from him than from others. In the 15-16 season, Van Gaal led Manchester United to defeat Crystal Palace and was fired two days after winning the FA Cup.

Rooney:

I respect him very much, and I think his wife might have found it at midnight. We won the trophy and then had a party, with Van Gaal, his wife and a few friends standing next to him, he was very quiet. This is not his general style. If you know his personality and personality, you know that it is not him.

I walked up to him and said: Boss, no matter what happens, forget it and enjoy tonight. But he couldn't do it. It's hard, it's hard for us because we respect him.

He asked us all to get up at 8 a.m. and come down for breakfast, and we were both hungover at that time. He gave everyone a schedule and told them what he wanted and what he expected from them in the offseason. He insisted on his job until he was fired.

It's really sad because when you look at him, this guy with a very personality, and we just won the FA Cup. He knows—we all know, he's going to be fired.

was fair to him, he insisted on his work until the end, and I respected him very much.
