match preview
Manchester United v Swansea City
theguardian
Beset by injuries, Louis van Gaal could have done with another couple of weeks before his Premier League bow. Having only two fit, senior centre-backs puts a wrinkle in his 3-5-2 formation. At least the new captain, Wayne Rooney, is available to terrorise Swanseas backline; shorn of the impressive Ben Davies and Chico, Garry Monk needs those remaining to shine straight away. Toby Moses
