As the Louis van Gaal era rolls slowly onwards, one reason for the Dutchman’s difficulties becomes clearer. Wayne Rooney has spoken of the Manchester United’s need to find greater balance between defence and attack, noting that the team struggles to maintain cover for its back four as soon as it pours forward.

Moreover, neither Schweinsteiger nor…
