    SWANSEA FACT FILE:

    Ex reds alert:
    Swansea have had ex United players playing for them before at some point. There is currently none in the squad BUT Swansea midfielder Wayne Routledge has the same initials as Manchester United's Wayne Rooney!

    Did you know:
    Swansea City are famous for their bizarre half time grub. Manchester United fans today can look forward to Pies and Burgers, BUT due to a licencing agreement they are not allowed to serve Heinz ketchup. Fans will have to settle for a local alternative instead.

    Most Famous player:
    Swansea's most famous player is Jonjo Shelvey, most famous for shouting at Ferguson, fighting Harry Potter and being the first footbaler to get a 6 figure sponsorship deal from a hair wax company.

    Manchester United history
    Swansea lost last year on the opening day of the season 4-1 to David Moyes' Manchester United. This would be the highlight of David Moyes reign and would go down as the only day fans actually thought he might be good enough.

    Not sure about that but LVG has never seemed vindictive after bringing a top player off. He tends to see if they bounce back and gives them a second chance. If he does it won't be easy because every side is now tight arse marking our strikers and giving them no room.

    I think Falcao has had plenty of chances to impress at this point, time to give the mop his start up top in the league I think.

    So say that. How about if van Perise starts ahead of Fellaini, Herrera and Young but we still play 4231. Would that be OK? This is where it becomes a nonsense.

    It's clear as day that's what I was getting that, hence @Riz understood it with minimal difficulty.

    And no, it wouldn't really. All of Fellaini, Young and Herrera played well last week and are deserving of a place in the side more than Van Persie, with a formation change as a result. Simple.
     
    MUTV predicted squad is DDG - nevermind - Blind - Herrera - di Maria - Mata - Roo - RvP

    Players playing in their positions? Too good to be true.
     
    We should be on by nowwww. Lah, la-la-la. Team selections any second.

    Answer the question then.

    If van Persie plays ahead of Herrera, Fellaini and Young but we still play 4231 would that be ok?
     
    Official Team Confirmed:

    United XI: De Gea, McNair, Jones, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Fellaini, Herrera, Di Maria, Rooney, van Persie

    Does LVG see Afro as more than plan B? Don't think he does but if he tried him up front I would be interested to see the results.

    He does probably only see him as plan B but hopefully he noticed that the plan B was more effective than the Falcao/RvP partnership he keeps trying.

    Excellent if true. Hopefully its Rooney upfront with Fellaini in midfield and not the other way around

    I edited it and did so. Seems like he's in the team, anyway. At least Herrera and Fellaini have been rightfully given their due.
     
    Nice. Bit upset about Jones over Smalling and RvP instantly back in, but it isn't bad.
