The United captain scored from their only shot on target in the 1-0 win at Liverpool to make it five goals in his last four games, having scored in each one.
Both Rooney and Van Gaal have come in for criticism this season but the Red Devils boss believes his striker has turned a corner.
"A striker who scores is always very important and now he is scoring in a row and we are winning in a row," Van Gaal said after United's third victory in four games.
"I'm very happy for him but also for Manchester United. Everyone wants to see Rooney scoring."
Van Gaal believes the win at Anfield can breathe new life into an unexpected title bid.
The three points against the Merseysiders, coupled with Arsenal's goalless draw at Stoke, leaves them seven points behind the Premier League leaders.

"We have a lot of matches still to go," the Dutchman added.
"We started 2016 very good with a lot of wins and I think this game will give a big boost to the players and the fans and everyone in the environment of Manchester United.
"We have to continue, which is not so easy. We have seen that but we can do it because we show every week we can do it."
