Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has no complaints about the red card captain Wayne Rooney received from referee Lee Mason during Saturdays 2-1 win over West Ham. Rooney was sent off for the sixth time in his career after kicking out at West Ham midfielder Stewart Downing. Van Gaal said: [It was] the right card. I could imagine why he did it. Rooney, 28, will now miss three games, including a home fixture against Premier League leaders Chelsea. When Rooney made the foul, I thought United must have been in trouble at the back. But they were four against two and all the defenders were in good positions. Its just a reckless tackle. Theres no need to make the foul because of the position the United defenders were in. The dismissal was the third of Rooneys United career - a day before the 10th anniversary of his debut for the club following his £25.6m move from Everton.- BBC.
