Agen CasinO  ~   Louis van Gaal has revealed Wayne Rooney is now the third choice penalty taker at Manchester United.

The Dutchman said Rooney was 'lucky' Juan Mata and Ander Herrera had been substituted in the Red Devils' unconvincing 1-0 win over Sheffield United in the FA Cup third round.

England skipper Rooney scored from the spot in stoppage time after Dean Hammond had felled Memphis Depay in the box.

"Wayne Rooney was the third man," Van Gaal told BT Sport. "I changed one and two, he was lucky."

It was another uninspiring display from United in front of their own fans, as they failed to register a shot on target until after the hour mark.

Ironic cheers followed as Depay tried a pot shot from outside the box, with United great Paul Scholes not holding back in his post-match assessment of their display.

"Escape from jail? I don't think so," he added. "It is always difficult to play against such opponents.

"They are defending with 10, 11 behind the ball. You have to play quicker than we did in the first half.

"We can improve but how many chances have Sheffield United created? No one is talking about that. Everyone is talking about the fantastic defence of Sheffield United.

"I don't think it is wise to purchase players in January. When we think he can give us a contribution, of course we shall do it, but normally we don't do that."
