Swansea vs Manchester United matchday thread

De Guzman out is good news for us
We are much stronger this season and you are possibly a little weaker with Scholes retired and Rooney not likely to feature in my opinion. But you aren't the champions for no reason so I would happily take a draw, but if we are at our best, I think we could nick it 2-1.

 

Good point, Scholes and Rooney were central to our success last season.

 

i think we'll win 0-1.

 

If we both play at our best we will win, but we will have to play well to beat you.

 

Agreed

I am told Wayne Rooney has travelled to south Wales with #MUFC ahead of opener against Swansea.

 

Can't believe its here at last, been waiting all summer for this now we have 1 day woooooooooo

 

Gone so quick.

 

It should be a great opening game and will probably be quite tight. Have a safe trip if you are travelling down.
Prediction Swans to nick it 2-1 with Swansea's Bony & Clyde (Michu) getting the goals.

 

Bring it on you Man barstardos

Safe trip to all making the journey down

 

0-0 written all over it, our preseason went better than expected conceding just one goal and scoring penty and man utd have had an indifferent preseason that is to be expected due to changes, If we can keep rvp quiet and rooney if he plays and united keep bony and michu and shelvey quiet then we will have a stalemate and a 0-0 draw that both teams will be happy with...whatever the result its only one game..

 

I'd be surprised if it was 0-0. It's been almost 90 games since we had a 0-0 in the PL, and we'd be much more likely to get one against a team who play much more negative than Swansea. Probably a low scorer, but I think both teams have the quality of strikers to score.

 

Laudrup has been playing down this season's hopes for us, even stating that it will be doubtful we will match last season's 9th place, not sure what he's up to, but, it just doesn't follow with the signings he's made this season, so I think he's going to be boxing very clever this season, given he now has a handle on the premier League, and with that in mind, I'm going for at least a 2-1 win to us with the home advantage aswel!..................

 

Agreed I would be amazed if it ended up 0-0, I also can't really understand people taking pre season in to the equation. I personally feel this will be an open game and in my bias opinion we will win 3-1.

 

Looking forward to the Bony M (ichu) partnership. Our side is not afraid to try and win and we have our best chance against you in eons, but you were not Champs for nowt. Its just amazing to think how far we have come.

Good luck (apart from against us )

 

thank god its here, don't have to hear about the cricket crap.

 

How bold of you...2-1 seems to be the only prediction I've seen a Swan fan make thus far!

 

Fcuk it, 3-0 to us then

 

can't wait until the game starts, i would take a 1-0 win now if it was offered to me.

 

Manager and team need a good start today by starting with a win..

any news of our injury list and players missing the match today?
