    Man Utd

    This was closer than I thought it would be, with 58.3% of you thinking Louis van Gaal is right to leave David De Gea out of his team at the moment as speculation remains over his future.

    So what's going on with Wayne Rooney? He failed to have a single shot in the game, and touched the ball once in the Aston Villa area, and that was to clear it out for a throw...

    Yeah, better make that 4-0...

  5. Bad night for Barcelonapublished at 22:21

    While we are sitting gabbing about a 1-0 win there's goals galore in the Spanish Super Cup, and not for Barcelona. 

    They are losing 3-0 to Athletic Bilbao, and you can follow the rest of that game here.

  6. Quality to come in for Villapublished at 22:19

    Aston Villa 0-1 Man Utd

    Not the most threatening display from Aston Villa, with Gabriel Agbonlahor mustering their only shot on target. 

    Still, they have some quality to come into the side in the shape of Jack Grealish, Carles Gil and new signing Adama Traore. I fancy them to improve.

    For what it is worth, which is not a lot at this stage of the season, here's the top of the Premier League table as it stands.

    Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood:  "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. We will improve.

    "It is hard to judge us against Manchester United, but it was not what I was looking for. We could be a bit more potent in the final third."

    And another fan of Friday night football.

    "Friday is the best night to play because it is the end of the working week," added Louis van Gaal. "In the evening the atmosphere is always better. 

    "The traffic was not so good, it took us one hour to get here, but I like the Friday evening."

    More from Louis van Gaal, on how close Manchester United are to playing the way he wants:  "There is still a long way to go. You cannot expect it with only four weeks preparation. You need more matches to come in the form I think we can show."

    Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal:  "The start to the season is better than last year but that is not so difficult. We had one point at this stage and now we have six, so I am very happy."

    Juan Mata is a fan though.

    "Friday night football is very nice," he said. "If you win you have the whole weekend to watch football and relax."

    Micah Richards didn't sound too convinced about Friday night football. 

    "It felt a bit weird," he said. "Lot my mates came down from Manchester but I'm not sure if they made it because of the trouble on the M6."

    Aston Villa captain Micah Richards:  "It is a big pitch, they kept the ball well. We were chasing shadows a little but in the end their quality showed.

    "If you look at our team from the beginning of last season to this season there are some really exciting players - good ball players in midfield with power and pace all over. 

    "It is exciting times, not the result we wanted tonight but we move on."

    Well, you can't argue with the stats but there is still something not quite there with Manchester United. A bit too ponderous.

    Not that the table counts for anything at this stage of the season, but Manchester United are top for the first time since David Moyes took them there in his first game in charge back at the start of the 2013-14 season.
