Manchester United
Manchester United were "painful to watch" at Stoke and Louis van Gaal was wrong to drop Wayne Rooney, says Dwight Yorke.
Rooney was introduced at half-time on Boxing Day after goals from Bojan Krkic and Marko Arnautovic saw the visitors slump to a fourth consecutive defeat and fall to sixth place in the Premier League.
The result heaped more pressure on beleaguered manager Van Gaal and former United striker and Sky Sports pundit Yorke thinks the Dutchman made the wrong call.
"Leaving out your talisman, your captain in the most difficult situation; someone with the experience, although his performances have not been the greatest, I just felt it went against him and he [Van Gaal] got it wrong again this afternoon," Yorke said.
