Adnan Januzaj out for Man United against Swansea with calf injury

The Spaniard scored his first goal of the season in Wednesday’s 4-0 win over Club Brugge when he played as a No. 10 in the second half.

A Wayne Rooney hat-trick and a solitary Ander Herrera goal sent the Red Devils through to Thursday’s group stage draw with an emphatic 7-1 aggregate scoreline.

It’s Man United starting XI prediction time. Matteo Darmian must continue his impressive start to the season in order to nullify Jefferson Montero, while the in-form Chris Smalling has to win his individual battle with Bafetimbi Gomis.

“Adnan Januzaj is injured so he can not play. Fellaini is not suspended any more“. The second game against Swansea, it was a very unlucky game for us.

After an unbeaten start to the new season, we couldn’t be better prepared going into Sunday’s match with Manchester United.

Swansea went on to complete the Premier League double over United and the Dutchman is determined to take revenge at the Liberty Stadium.

Yet despite those results and United struggling to recapture the glory days they enjoyed for so long under Sir Alex Ferguson, Monk feels the 20-times English champions remain special opposition.

And Monk accepts it is only human nature that Dutchman van Gaal, who will be in charge of United for the 50th time in South Wales, will be desperate to avenge those shock defeats.

Louis van Gaal reaches his 50th match as Manchester United manager today and his team’s performance at Swansea is an opportunity to prove how far they have improved in his reign. Throw into the mix that we boast some of the most in-form players in the league at the moment in Bafetimbi Gomis, Andre Ayew and Jefferson Montero and we have every reason to be confident of taking another three points. I hope we can show how we have improved because that is the main thing.

“I don’t want to lose again“.

Van Gaal will have another 48 hours following the Swansea game to make any changes to his squad.

United are also interested in signing Sadio Mane from Southampton and bids for stars like Thomas Muller, Gareth Bale and even Neymar have been mooted. Van Gaal was keeping tight-lipped about any potential transfers at his press conference on Friday, however.
