United made one change from the 2-1 defeat to Norwich with Ander Herrera replacing captain Rooney.
Van Gaal is under fire and reportedly has two games to save his job but opted to leave Rooney out with Anthony Martial leading the line in attack.
And the Dutchman insists his gameplan means Rooney was not the best option for his team today.
"I think with this gameplan it was better to play with Ander Herrera instead of Wayne Rooney," he said.
"Yes, of course (it's a tactical change).
"I don't think it has to do with drastic measures, it has to do with my gameplan.
When asked what his gameplan was he said: "That's for us and not for you."
