Manchester United team ratings vs. Swansea City
Renato Sanches is fit, but will most probably miss out.
While Carlos Carvahal’s men don’t look like they will get relegated, they remain just three points above the drop zone.
“It’s an incredible turnaround that has shocked many, but maybe not Jose Mourinho”.
The lanky forward, however, showed his footwork isn’t half-bad either as he turned his marker inside out to seemingly score, only for United’s custodian to reinforce his credentials as the world’s premier shot-stopper with a jaw-dropping save.
“Not that Mourinho will be offering any favours at Old Trafford”.
United hardly got out of second gear in the final 10 minutes, while Jose Mouirnho introduced Scott McTominay as they saw out the remaining stages easily. “A stylish one preferable”.
46′ Substitution! Swansea City.
“But I think everybody played really well in the first half”. We have our own ideas.
“We got the points and are ready to fight stay in second position”.
Carlos Carvalhal has given Swansea hope of being a Premier League team next season but with 31 points from 31 games, they are still in trouble.
Manchester United returned to action after the global break with a 2-0 victory over Swansea City on Saturday afternoon.
The Swans have avoided defeat in three of their last five games at Old Trafford (W2, D1).
The Manchester United striker was on target after just five minutes against Swansea to join the list that includes the likes of Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer.
He never managed a Premier League goal for Chelsea, having seen game time limited during a frustrating spell with the Blues.
However, the second goal did come after Lingard again came up with a great ball to Sanchez, who produced a fine finish to put the ball into Fabianski’s bottom right hand corner.
Their tally of 15 clean sheets is unsurpassed, and matched only by neighbours City.
CARRICK’S COACHING DEBUT ” Yes one match, one victory.
Add that to the fact that they have already beaten Arsenal and Liverpool this year, suggesting that Swansea tend to raise their game against the big sides and they’re not scared to do it.
As United coasted to victory, Paul Pogba, handed a start for just the fourth time in United’s last 10 games, grew in influence and delivered two superb chipped passes that might have led to a third United goal.
