While United captain Wayne Rooney may be enduring a personal nightmare start to the season the young Dutchman admits he’s leaning on the under fire England striker for advice as he finds his feet at Old Trafford and in the English Premier League.

Rooney began the game like a man with a point to prove, but, after a bright opening 20 minutes, his performance fizzled out – much like that of United’s as a whole, barring a late flurry of chances that saw Javier Hernandez and Chris Smalling go close to snatching a victor.

“It’s early on in the season“. While Terry was not happy about his rare withdrawal, Rooney stated he had no issue with being taken off. “No, of course not”.

That ensured that United continue their great record at Villa Park, where the Red Devils have not lost for 20 league games now.

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood said: “I am disappointed with the result, I thought we nullified them, but it is to be expected, we have a lot of players out there trying to find their feet in English football“.

Louis van Gaal claimed that De Gea turned down the chance to play for United against Spurs last weekend as he wants to leave Old Trafford for Real Madrid, but reports from the De Gea camp suggest that claim is not accurate.

David de Gea looked a pretty glum figure on the opening day of the season as he warmed his rear-end on the comfy seats at Old Trafford alongside Victor Valdes.
