    Old Trafford

    By the time Saturday's match arrives, both teams could be "Managerless". If United lose to Chelsea on the 28th - a fifth defeat on the bounce - it is possible that Van Gaal would either have "walked" or been shown the door. Swansea remain under Alan Curtis' stewardship pending the appointment of a new Manager, the search seemingly taking longer than expected.

    Following the much needed Boxing Day victory over WBA, the Swans travelled on Selhurst Park on the 28th to play Crystal Palace, hoping to secure a third consecutive clean sheet.

    I'm hoping that the Swans continue their recent good run against United and grab at least a point. 1-1

    We could well be playing this lot with their new manager in place!

    I was thinking if they give it to Jose, Giggsy may want to leave..... He was mentioned as an option for us....

    I think they will keep Giggs as the no. 2 in the plan to groom him to be the next long term manager. So it woukdnt surprise me to see José signed for the rest of the season

    I hope Giggs is in charge as I think he is not so good as a manager, If Van Gaal is sacked of course. If we go there and have a go there is at least a point there for us, but I will take anything if I am honest. just show them no respect and get in their faces and just give it a go guys.

    Giggsy is in charge tonight. Far more attacking from Utd tonight. We should start with Montero and Barrow and hit them fast and hard on the counterattack.

    As I'm typing this, Matic just bottled it spectacularly <laugh>

    Having watched that rubbish at Old Trafford I'd throw the kitchen sink at Utd.

    My team

    -------------------------------------Fab----------------------------------

    Naughton-------------Fed-----------------Ash----------------Rangel

    Barrow---------------Cork------------------Ki--------------------Montero

    ------------------------------------Gylfi-----------------------------------------

    Naughton can play left back. I'd put Rangel at RB.

    I'd play Routledge before either Monty or Fly-Mo

    Extract from Daily Mail article when we signed him

    "Naughton played in only five games for Mauricio Pochettino this season and was told he was no longer needed.

    Monk has been won over by his ability to play on either side of defence, with Swansea keen to strengthen at both left and right back.

    Swansea's existing left back Neil Taylor has struggled to fill the void left by Ben Davies' summer departure for Tottenham and is a target for Crystal Palace."
