A midweek trip to Devon always had the makings of a tricky trip for a Coventry team focused on Premier League survival. Such feelings quickly evaporated when Frank Lampard’s side raced into a two-goal lead with just four minutes and six seconds on the clock, Taiwo Awoniyi opening his account for his new club before Jack Rudoni doubled Coventry’s advantage. But, ultimately, Coventry were made to toil before chalking up a welcome first victory of the season.But Plymouth have form for a cup upset and another was brewing when Xavier Amaechi pulled Tom Cleverley’s side level nine minutes into the second half.

Manchester United players need to take ‘responsibility’ on the pitch, says Wayne Rooney (Picture: The Overlap) Wayne Rooney has called on Michael Carrick to take both Luke Shaw and Andrey Santos out of Manchester United’s starting XI following the side’s opening-day defeat to Hull City. Hull produced the major upset of the weekend as Semi Ajayi and debutant Nobel Mendy scored two unanswered goals to ensure Sergej Jakirovic’s side got off to a perfect start on their return to the Premier League. There had been a renewed sense of optimism amongst United’s fanbase heading into the new campaign, but Carrick’s men managed a total of just five shots on target despite finishing the contest with 71 per cent of the possession. The Red Devils return to top-flight action at home to another of the Premier League’s new boys in Ipswich on Sunday and Carrick may well be feeling the pressure at this embryonic stage of the season.

The United manager will not be able to call upon £70million summer arrival Carlos Baleba, who was officially unveiled on Tuesday evening but is currently recovering from ankle ligament damage. It remains to be seen if Carrick will keep faith with his new-look midfield combination of Youri Tielemans and Santos following the pair’s largely underwhelming performances at MKM Stadium. ‘I think players need to take responsibility on the pitch because when you play against a Hull City or Ipswich, the next game, you can set up however you want to set up and a lot of the time it’s decisions,’ club legend Rooney said while dissecting United’s display on The Overlap.
