The Swans aren't in the best shape of late, especially after just selling Sigurdsson for £40million, though they have some cash to splash. Man U look to be on the pu.
3 - 0 to Man U.

I'm on shift for this one but here's your starter kit, friends. United polished off hapless West Ham last week while the Swans held Southampton to a goalless stalemate. Maureen will see this fixture as a chance to continue the Trafford assault but away from home how will his troops fare?
Swans :Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez (C), Bartley, Mawson, Olsson, Roque Mesa, Fer, Carroll, Ayew, Abraham
Utd : De Gea, Valencia, Bailly, Jones, Blind, Matic, Pogba, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Rashford, Lukaku
Ref : Jon Moss (4 Yellows and 0 Reds in one PL outing this term)
Swansea 10
Man Utd 4/11
Draw 4
(BET365)

Swans hit the bar and now Jones hits it for United when it probably would have been easier to score.
Rashford passes it to the keeper instead of scoring.

Well I'll be damned!
8 goals in two matches, now that is something I would never dare to even dream of before the season started.
I gotta say I enjoy how "cool" Mourinho is after that kind of trashings, and not going all crazy and hell, like in the first few games last seasons where he celebrated like he won the league after Zlatan scored a few times, instead this time around, he rarely looked like cracking a smile during these two games.
Far too early of course to say that Mourinho has permanently fixed United's goalscoring problems after just two matches in, but this have been probably the most exciting football I have seen a United team play, since maybe the 5-6 first games of the 2006-07 season where it seemed like every shoot/chance they created went in.
Sure it was "only" West Ham and Swansea, but the thing is, both of these teams have given Man Utd plenty of troubles, even during Fergie's last years, and the last time United went up against West Ham and Swansea, they only got 2 points out of 6, which meant they lost 4 and where very lucky to get 2.
Lukaku, Pogba and Martial scored again, Mkhitaryan looking like an absolute assist-machine at the moment, De Gea has almost "disappeared" where last few years he would be a certain favorite for "man of the match award and Phil Jones when he is not injuried looks like he will give Rojos and Lindelof one hell of a fight to get back into the first team, and was unlucky not to score in the first half.

I guess Martial has to start the next game then? Which probably means Rashford gets dropped? Shame, I think Rashford has exciting potential for England, but with Zlatan likely signing a new contract, I just worry his development is going to be stifled under Mourinho. |

I really hope the youth of Man Utd, with the likes of Rashford, Lingard and so on will be getting more time to improve and learn, but I also understand it will be very hard and "brave" of Mourinho and United to bench guys like Zlatan, Lukaku, Matic, Pogba and so on, in favor of the young players, but Rashford seems to be the one who has the biggest chance of really breaking through and hopefully one day become a great Man Utd player and not just another talent that got "lost".
