Manchester United will be looking to keep up their unbeaten run as they travel to South Wales to take on Paul Clement’s Swansea. United beat Benfica in the Champions League to maintain their 100% record in European competition this season and look set to be fighting on four fronts for the majority of the season. Swansea registered their first home win against Huddersfield in the Premier League and would love to claim a major scalp here.

Manchester UnitedSwansea
Paul Clement has continued to do an excellent job at Swansea and has managed to rebuild the team following the summer departures of Fernando Llorente and Gylfi Sigurdsson. Although they only picked up their first home win of the season last time out, the Swans have recorded 8 points from 8 games and sit in 13th place in the table. Tammy Abraham has looked sharp since his summer loan from Chelsea and he will want to add to his tally of 4 goals for the season.
Manchester United
Jose Mourinho has galvanised his Manchester United squad this season into an attacking force- only cross-city rivals Manchester City have scored more goals than the reds. United are the holders of the Carabao Cup and Mourinho is notorious for being one of the few managers who prioritises the competition. Rotation could be integral to United’s success this term and with the likes of Juan Mata and Anthony Martial at his disposal from the bench, United should be able to put out a strong team.
Head to Head
Manchester United hold a slender lead in the head to head records between the two clubs – 14:10 with a further 6 draws taking place between the two sides. They have already met this season at the Liberty Stadium with United running riot in a 4-0 win, with goals from Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba, Eric Bailly and Anthony Martial.
