Man Utd boss Louis van Gaal:
 I would also play Wayne Rooney UP FRONT if I was Roy Hodgson
 
 LOUIS VAN GAAL won't go to war with Roy Hodgson over the England manager's belief that Wayne Rooney's best position is as a striker.
 
 
 In fact, if the Manchester United boss was in Hodgson's shoes he'd select Rooney in the same up front slot.
 
 Right now, Van Gaal prefers to play Rooney in midfield behind Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao - and won't budge from that stance.
 
 Van Gaal said: "He has to compare Wayne Rooney with the strikers he can put in the line up. I have to choose between Falcao, Van Persie and all the other strikers I have.
 
 "It is my consideration and a different one. He is maybe the BEST striker but I have explained already a lot of times that it is not because anyone is not a good player in my selection.
 
 "You have to compare and I have to like what is the biggest contribution where a player can play. It is the composition of the team and that is more important than the individual player.
 
 "I'm sorry for that. In the composition of Mr Hodgson, Rooney is probably giving more contribution to the English team when he is playing in the striker's position. I would also put him there if I was coach of the English team."
