The Dugout Discussion – Aston Villa vs Man United

Gameweek 2 gets us up and running earlier than usual tonight, as Villa welcome United to the midlands.

Both sides opened their seasons with 1-0 wins and Tim Sherwood will be seeking home improvements, having managed just one home clean sheet at Villa Park since taking the helm. Captain Poll favourite Wayne Rooney, meanwhile, looks to improve upon a record that saw him score just once outside of Old Trafford in 2014/15.

United roll up to Villa Park for their first away game of the season having struck just 21 goals in their 19 road trips under Louis van Gaal last term, registering a shot on goal every 8 minutes. They’ll be up against a Villa rearguard that kept just four clean sheets in front of their own fans last term, shipping 25 goals – only Crystal Palace kept fewer shutouts than the midlanders.

Having failed to ignite against Spurs, Van Gaal will look to his attacking players to perform tonight, providing a test to Sherwood’s rearguard following their opening day success at Bournemouth.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Also Rooney is done as an out and out striker.

      Although possibly the most unselfish striker going, you have to think Rooney has his eyes set on those goalscoring records and it affects his game a bit. I would like to see some sort of crazy study compiled on Rooneys performances and United's performances when playing in the few different positions he has taken over the years to see, statistically, where he is most effective. So many variances though with age, team structure, team mates, team form, etc so would just be a bit messy,

    Hazard to Sanchez OR Azpi/Kosc to Bellerin/Darmian the best way to free up .5?
