The former England international won five Premier League titles and a Champions League under Ferguson at United, while he won just an FA Cup with Van Gaal.

Despite rumours of bust-ups between Ferguson and Rooney, it still comes as a big surprise that he sees Van Gaal as the “best coach” he has worked with.

“Van Gaal is by far the best coach I have worked with – one hundred per cent,” Rooney said.

“His tactical skills, his way of preparing and his attention to the finest of details, I found amazing. I admired that in him. I had never looked at stuff like that before.

“Van Gaal knows that the way he works is tough for players. I made him aware of that at the time and we talked about this very well together.

“I regret how it all ended, yet I know one thing for sure – I have learnt a lot from him and I am definitely going to use those lessons for when I am a manager.”
