Man Utd boss Van Gaal plays down Rooney injury

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has played down an injury concern for Wayne Rooney after victory over Hull City.

Rooney was limping at the final whistle after banging his knee, but Van Gaal did not believe that problem was serious.

Rooney was also kicked in the first half but quickly ran off that knock.

Van Gaal said: "He had a kick on his calf I believe. He then had a kick on his knee but it was not too serious because he said he will play."
