Van Gaal looks for lead from 'privileged' Rooney

Manchester (United Kingdom) (AFP) - Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has suggested Wayne Rooney has "privileges" as he prepares his side to travel to Leicester on Sunday.United got their season up and running with a 4-0 Premier League win over QPR last weekend -- van Gaal's first competitive victory since moving into the hot seat at Old Trafford -- and they will hope to continue that form against another newly-promoted side at the King Power Stadium.Such has been the turmoil at the start of van Gaal's reign that only four players –- Rooney, David de Gea, Tyler Blackett and Juan Mata -- have started all four of their Premier League matches so far.After United added the attacking talent of Angel di Maria and Radamel Falcao during the recent transfer window, much has been made of how van Gaal will accommodate all of his forwards.The Dutchman has denied it will result in a straight fight between Falcao and Robin van Persie to play alongside Rooney but he has also suggested that other than goalkeeper de Gea, Rooney will always play."There are always players you put in a team.
