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

            Can tell you have a life, trying to get upvotes on a comments section. Let me guess, overweight and socially awkward?

          *off. typical scouser.

    Amavi wont be at villa next season

  4. Zoostation
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Jus pulled the trigger on Walcott and Rooney to Cabaye and Aguero.

    No hit, right call? Or rash?

    1. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Walcott brace incoming...

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Lol

    3. PSEBJ27
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      The second part is okay

    4. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      lol

    5. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Should have waited until the gameweek is over. What if both Cabaye and Aguero get injured?

      1. Zoostation
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Then I wildcard.

        Guess it's a risk but Rooney was always coming out for Aguero.

        Don't see the point in waiting, Aguero seems good for points next week.

        And I can't stand Walcott not being nailed, headache each week. And he's dropping in price.

  5. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years

    Lol @ Rooney captainers

    1. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 12 months ago

      Shame on you, Rooney is doing a good enough job on us, we don't need you chipping in too

    2. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Don't you support United?

  6. Zombie
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Rooney still to make a single touch within the box in this match 😆 😆

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      I dont think he has touched the ball in Villas half

  7. Richd
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Rooney or Benteke was a tough choice for captain. I'd take a Rooney assist still and watch Tekkers light it up on Monday.

    He was always the plan this week, glad I held...

    Jinx??

    1. Jas aka The age of Ozil is …

  9. The Machine

    Would have changed my captain from rooney to pelle had i known the deadline was 6:45. Anyone else?

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Feeling even better about our tie now

    2. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…

      Why?

    3. Rasping Drive

      Please. You're on here 24/7.

  10. Big Jari Litmanen
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Is Rooney unfit or just done as a forward?

  11. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    I left it on Rooney by mistake

  12. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Darmian bossing the BPS again...

  13. Too Mane Men
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Rooney needs time and multiple chances to get his eye in each game and LVG's Utd simply don't allow that to happen, especially when he's playing lone striker.

    It kills me to say it but I'm going to have no issues getting rid of him come GW4.

    Also, Mike Dean seems to have been threatened with death if he books Darmian. Utterly ridiculous amount of bad challenges and professional fouls. Not even a warning yet|!?! Madness.

    1. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      He's Italian, master of the dark arts of defending.

  14. Raddy
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Villa deserve a point from this.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Life is unfair

      1. Raddy
        • 14 Years

        True dat

  15. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Rooney

    150 minutes

    1 touch in the box

    And he knew nothing about that

    1. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Pray for a pen so he can get one more touch

      1. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Is he on pens?

        1. Jake Donahue
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          Must be if lvg thinks he is getting 20 goals

  16. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 15 Years

  17. PSEBJ27
    • 11 Years

    Rooney should've gotten a head on that

  18. Mike C
    • 17 Years

    1. The Machine
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Same. Out for aguero

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years

  19. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    So glad I saved the 2.5 for Aguero. Get the hell outta of my time Rooney.

  20. Greenbackbøøg…

      They've been, ever since Van Gaal arrived

  21. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years

  24. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years

  25. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Why did I ever get Memphis? He looks like a trackstar or NBA player turned footballer

  26. The Machine
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Well at least i have 2 freebies now. Rooney and wally out at this rate

  27. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    I havent been on here, so no doubt im just reiterating whats been said already, but my god Rooney has been f*cking terrible. So bad.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Really? Consensus here is that he's been great.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        😀

  28. internal error

    Utd were far more entertaining under Moyes.....

  29. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    What is Mané captain % this GW?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      must be low Captain stats Rooney, 24.5% Benteke, 16.8% Hazard, 11.7% Kane, 8.2% Aguero, 4.7% Costa, 3.5%

  30. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 12 months ago

    Darmian rewarding his ~100k new owners with 9 points is just a little bit sickening...

    1. C-Dawgg
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      He certainly looks to be the pick of the United team right now... This is dire.
