JUAN MATA AND WAYNE ROONEY GUIDE MAN UTD TO ANOTHER WIN

Mata The Architect As United Go Top

Juan Mata – one of our three Differentials this Gameweek – was the star man for Manchester United as they recorded a convincing 3-0 win over Sunderland. The Spain international – who’s been involved in six goals in as many appearances – bagged a goal and an assist to further his appeal at the 8.7 mark. Although his 15% ownership will be delighted to retain the form midfielder, prospective buyers may be deterred by Man United’s next trio of match-ups (ars, eve, MCI).
Both Wayne Rooney and Memphis Depay got off the mark this campaign with goals against the Black Cats. Anthony Martial – who registered an assist to add to his three league goals – has somewhat marginalised Rooney’s relevance on the Fantasy scene, but Depay (8.3) harbours the potential to be a fine acquisition if he can exhibit some consistency.
Man United’s fourth clean sheet of the season furnished Matteo Darmian’s 21% ownership with a welcome four-point boost. Given that Louis van Gaal’s troops travel away from Old Trafford in three of the next four Gameweeks and conceded twice in their last two road fixtures, Darmian admirers might be inclined to sit tight for the time being.
