[Louis van Gaal](http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/louis-van- gaal) admitted he wanted to rest match winner [Marcus Rashford](http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/marcus-rashford) ahead of the Aston Villa match. The 18-year-old Mancunian striker's start against the doomed Midlanders, in which he scored his seventh senior goal, was his 12th consecutive start since his debut against Midtjylland in the Europa League in February. The [United](http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester- united-fc) boss was ready to give him a breather like he gave Anthony Martial but the Wythenshawe goalscorer convinced him otherwise. "I wanted to change Rashford. I have doubted for a long time because he is young and he has played the last, how many matches? You know that better than I do," said Van Gaal. "At the end I didn't want to do that because I wanted to take profit from his momentum. He said he was very positive to play.  Manchester United's Marcus Rashford turns to celebrate after scoring the opening goal vs Aston Villa He said 'I am fit to play' so then I thought I could change him before the end. The last 15 minutes is always very important for a player so I changed him because of that." While Rashford talked himself into the line up, Van Gaal also chose Wayne Rooney for a return after missing the last 13 games with a knee ligament injury. But the Dutch manager said his skipper was annoyed he was taken off after 67 minutes. [ Manchester United player ratings: Rashford excellent but Memphis disappointing](http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football- news/man-utd-player-ratings-rashford-11196094) "Wayne Rooney hasn't played 90 minutes in the last two and a half months. But he was angry with me because he wanted to play for 90 minutes!" he said. "But you could see he was losing balls in the second half and not in the first half because he was very good in the first half. I think the goal was also his goal. "It shows a good spirit when you want to play for 90 minutes. But you cannot build up your capacity in three days of training but I was very positive about his first half."
