Everton vs Man Utd: 5 Things United Must Do To Win

1. Get Rooney and Van Persie Working & Firing

The match at Everton on Monday night will be the first time United will have the chance to showcase their superstar attack. With Van Persie signing for a reported £24 million earlier this week, there is a keen sense of intrigue about how the new signing will bed in ahead of Rooney. Robin Van Persie scored an astonishing 30 goals in 38 Premier League appearences last season, and that is without the creativity of the Manchester United midfield, and in particular Rooney. Wayne Rooney has shown his best position lies just behind the centre-forward, and he thrives in supporting the lone striker in an attacking midfielder role - something which was used to perfection in Javier Hernandez's first season at United. Behind the creativity of Rooney, lies the Manchester United midfield. Within an orchestra of possession and passing, the likes of Michael Carrick, Paul Scholes and Shinji Kagawa will be available to provide pinpoint passing and laser vision to ensure Van Persie will be given all the opportunities in the world to get himself on the scoresheet.
