Manchester: Manager Louis van Gaal expects Manchester United’s defensive record to come under threat at Swansea today.

United’s defence was expected to be their weak point this season, but they have not conceded in their first three EPL matches. That may change when they visit the Liberty Stadium.
Swansea have devastating pace on both flanks, courtesy of Andre Ayew and Jefferson Montero, while Bafetimbi Gomis has bagged three goals in three games up front.
"Swansea are a very good team," said the United manager, who lost twice to Garry Monk’s men last term. "They play a positional game like we do. They want to build up and have a good attack with speed and creativity."
