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

    How are Mané captainers feeling?

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Like I should have gone with Sakho.

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years

      Probably a lot better than Rooney captainers.

      1. DickFranDyke
        • 16 Years

        I feel for the Guzan Captainers the most.

    Don't worry guys, Rooney will get a scrappy assist on an own goal to book a place in our teams next week

    Sherwood needs to play 5 forwards and just get it over with now, instead of slowly working his way to the inevitable

    Am not watching, but my 'Rooney won't score' bet still holding up nicely I presume?
