The Reigning Champions Enter The Dragons Den Looking to Slay The Welsh Power House.

Manchester United ,visit , Cardiff Stadium , looking to start their season on a high , newly appointed manager David Moyes will certainly be expecting a win after the red devils secured the first trophy of the season(The Charity Shield )thanks to two goals form the flying Dutch man and last season top scorer Robin sweet left foot Van Persi. Team news David Moyes will be without the service of the steady midfielder and England international Michael Carrick, little pea Xavier Hernandez and Brazilian wing back Rafael. It’s still not certain whether or not Wayne Rooney will start for united as the players on going sauna with the management continues . United’s preseason friendly was somewhat of a disappointment considering their opposition , united only managed 2 wins out of 7 games . Swansea will be without the service of Dutch international Jonathan de Guzman, and Jonjo Shelvey who only joined the team this season will have to postpone his debut for Swansea as the payer is dealing with an acute illness. Swansea have been showing impressive form early on, as they battered swish side Malmo 4 nil in the first round of Europa league. As an occasion and as a match this should be memorable and whatever happens elsewhere on Saturday.

United  have already won a trophy this season  

The former Everton manager David Moyes knows Swansea well and completely dismantled the tiki-taka machine with Everton the last time he paid Micheal Laudrop a visit on his home ground. United are likely to be very aggressive off the ball, looking to defend high up and trying limiting the space for the Swansea players. Swansea plays a great barcelonaesque passing game, but I don’t think the squad possess enough skill to keep the ball away from united for long. Moyes will likely look to play a wide game with loads of crosses over and on the Swansea box. Swansea have to work very hard in order try and win this game , if they manage to give the united players the run around and get a good passing rhythm ,then there might be slight chance of a win.


Swansea are known to be a great passing side 

 Game out come / score

 United : 2         Swansea: 1
