Van Gaal, Rooney mad

Wayne Rooney's short tenure as Manchester United captain hit its lowest ebb last Sunday and he wasn't afraid to give his team-mates a rollicking as the Red Devils capitulated at Leicester.

 The 28-year-old publicly lambasted virtually all his colleagues as his side let a 3-1 lead slip against the Foxes to lose 5-3.

Rooney's famous tempter was in full flow as United conceded their third goal scored by Esteban Cambiasso.

Cambiasso's strike prompted the forward to explode in a fit of rage with Ander Herrera, Daley Blind and Tyler Blackett, the players closest, bearing the brunt.

Rooney's mood would have only worsened as Jamie Vardy completed the remarkable turned around in the 79th minute before Leonardo Ulloa completed the scoreline with a penalty as Blackett was sent off for a foul on Vardy inside the box.

Manager Louis van Gaal was also heard laying into his players in the dressing room after they surrendered their lead .

 The capitulation at the King Power Stadium left United with just five points from as many games this season, their worst start to a Premier League campaign.

 Sky News and ITV presenter Eamonn Holmes — a celebrity United fan with close ties to the club — who is also a close friend of Sir Alex Ferguson  took to Twitter later on Sunday claiming to have overheard an explosive rant from Van Gaal: “Walked past The United dressing room post match ....let's just say I wouldn't have liked to have been on the receiving end of LVG !  V Loud.”
