Juan Mata’s guided pass set up Januzaj for the goal, which Sherwood described as “flukey”, in reference to the shot deflecting off Ciaran Clark’s foot.
“The start to the season is better than previous year but that is not so hard”.
Romero has already kept more clean sheets than he managed in 10 league games at Sampdoria last term, where he was considered to be a second-choice behind Emiliano Viviano. “That is why, for example, Herrera is not playing but is always coming on as a substitute, because he is more of a controlling midfielder there”.
Januzaj, who made a rare start having been linked with a loan move away, scored as United took their unbeaten run at the ground to 20 league matches.
Goal revealed in July that United were resigned to losing De Gea after the Spain global informed them that he wants to join Madrid this summer and the 24-year-old missed Saturday’s 1-0 win over Tottenham, with Van Gaal claiming his goalkeeper lacked the necessary focus.
Another United new boy, Memphis Depay, missed a glorious chance when Mata picked him out with another lovely pass. “Aston Villa and Man United are two of the biggest clubs in this country so the demands are high”.
“I’m pleased with the goal, because it was a wonderful goal, how Adnan scored, but you have to do more than only scoring a goal”, said the Dutchman. Then you can say we have a better squad.
“I’ve said from the beginning that the defence is an effort of the whole team”.
“I haven’t had a game for a long time so my fitness is not so good but I’m happy to score for the team and the victor. I am happy here and I will play for my place”, Januzaj said when asked about his transfer plans.

“I’m very pleased because you can not get more points than six”, he added.
