After beating Tottenham Hotspur on the opening day of the season, thanks to an own goal from Kyle Walker, Wayne Rooney insists United will only get better in coming games.

We could have played better but after what happened last season, getting off to a bad start at home. We’re still working, of course. This pre-season’s been relatively short compared to previous ones, but we’ve worked hard and all that work went into getting the three points, so we’ve done that. Now we have a couple of days to go back over the game and see what we’ve done good and what we’ve done bad, and then we can start preparing for Villa. So it was a big victory for us.
