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

  22. An Púca
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Rooney getting booked would make my night...but he'd have to break into at least a trot to get near the ball and he's showing no sign of that tonight

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Wow rooney

  24. Wilshere Knowledge

  26. skooldaze
    11 years, 3 months ago

    This is why I never trust Rooney - lets you down a lot and is just the original inconsistent.

    Will get 10 points one game and then 2 the next.

    Dropped!

  27. HuttonDressedasLahm
