27 minThe fans are beginning to show their frustration here after another 27 minutes of pretty aimless football. Jose Mourinho's name rings around Old Trafford, although that may well have come from some mischievous away fans

Re: Manchester United Vs Swansea City 2 - 1 On 2nd January 2016 by SHAIBULIAR: 4:32pm On Jan 02, 2016
29 minSAVE! The first piece of action for De Gea here as Routledge fires a bobbling shot towards goal, but the Spaniard is down to make a relatively comfortable stop.
Re: Manchester United Vs Swansea City 2 - 1 On 2nd January 2016 by SHAIBULIAR: 4:37pm On Jan 02, 2016
33 minCHANCE! Good chance for the hosts to break the deadlock as United win a free kick in a good position but take it quickly to set Mata clear inside the box. He looks destined to tuck it away, but Taylor is alert and comes across with a brilliant block before Mata's tame rebound rolls into the arms of Fabianski.

32 minNervy moments for United here as Swansea have a period of pressure and the hosts survives a penalty appeal. Schneiderlin was looking to clear a cross into the box over his own head, but his volley hit his hand while doing so. It would have been a very harsh one.

Re: Manchester United Vs Swansea City 2 - 1 On 2nd January 2016 by SHAIBULIAR: 4:41pm On Jan 02, 2016
38 minInteresting moment here as Fabianski controls the ball with his chest after it was knocked back to him by his own man, but after seemingly asking the referee whether he was clear to pick it up, he does exactly that with Rooney closing in. The United skipper wants a back-pass, but Jonathan Moss allows play to continue. 36 minCHANCE! Another opening for United as Rooney pings a pass out wide to Young before charging into the box to meet the right-back's lofted ball into the middle. He climbs brilliantly and directs his header downwards, but an unwitting Cork makes a vital block when not even looking at the ball.

35 minGood intent from Ki as he picks the ball up on the left and cuts inside, only to fire a fairly weak low effort a few yards wide of the near post.

Re: Manchester United Vs Swansea City 2 - 1 On 2nd January 2016 by SHAIBULIAR: 4:46pm On Jan 02, 2016
42 minYELLOW CARD! Smalling becomes the first name in the book today for a block on Ayew, although that is a rather soft caution.

42 minSAVE! Mata looks to change that as he collects Young's cut-back, but he has Williams straight in his face and has to snatch at the shot quickly. He still gets enough behind it to trouble Fabianski, who is down quickly to make a good stop.

40 minFive minutes remain in this first half and, up to this point, United fans will not be particularly pleased with what they have seen. There has been a lack of ambition and quality so far and it would be a surprise to hear some disgruntled fans at the break if it stays goalless

45+1 minHALF TIME: Manchester United 0-0 Swansea City

45+1 minCHANCE! Good chance to end the first half for United, and again it comes from an Ashley Young cross. The ball is slightly behind Rooney, but he still directs a header towards goal that Fabianski has to save.

45+1 minThere will be just the one minute of added time at the end of this first half.

44 minThe ball almost breaks for Martial fortuitously in a promising position, but his first touch just shows too much to the defender, who is able to make a strong challenge.

4pmRooney has also had a couple of sights of goal, hitting the side-netting with the game's first real opening before threatening with two headers later in the half. The first came when he climbed highest in the box, only to see his effort hit the back of an unwitting Cork when it looked like causing Fabianski problems, while the second was well saved by the Swansea keeper.

3.58pmThe Spaniard was denied by Fabianski again later in the half, although this effort did cause the keeper more problems. Ashley Young was the creator down the right - as he has been for most of United's chances today - making his way to the byline before pulling the ball back to Mata, who had to rush his effort when being closed down by Williams. He still got a shot away, but Fabianski was down smartly to make the save.

3.56pmIt was the hosts who created the best chances of that first half, with Mata in particular coming close to breaking the deadlock when he collected a quick free kick inside the area. His first effort was brilliantly blocked by Neil Taylor's last-ditch challenge, however, while his rebound was far too tame and comfortable for Fabianski to gather.

3.54pmThe first half comes to an end at Old Trafford, which is the cue for the home fans to vent their frustration at the team. Goalless at Old Trafford is nothing new this season and was entirely predictable considering these two sides' attacking struggles this season, but it is no easier for the home supporters to take.

47 minGOAL! Manchester United 1-0 Swansea (Anthony Martial)

46 minJust as in the first half, United make a promising start to the second period as Rooney spins away from one and creates a shooting chance just inside the box, only to see his effort blocked behind for a corner.

46 minKICKOFF: The hosts get us back underway for the second half at Old Trafford, and Louis van Gaal has made a change at the break. On comes Matteo Darmian in place of the injured Jones.

4.04pmIt has not been the best game overall, in truth. We were expecting a tight, low-scoring affair, and it looks set to be exactly that at the halfway stage. Surely, though, Van Gaal will throw caution to the wind a little more in the coming

45 minutes.

C'mon United
Re: Manchester United Vs Swansea City 2 - 1 On 2nd January 2016 by SHAIBULIAR: 5:20pm On Jan 02, 2016
53 minAshley Young is the main danger man for United today. He has caused havoc down the right flank, and while there have been criticisms over his end product in the past, he has put some decent crosses into the box today.

51 minThat goal should help the game from a neutral point of view too. Swansea were quite happy to sit back and only hit United on the break at 0-0, but they have little option but to open up a little now.

49 minThat goal has lifted the mood around Old Trafford for sure. There were jeers at half time but the home fans are chanting for the team now. It has been a much more encouraging start to the second half.

47 minThat is exactly what United needed at the start of this second half! The hosts take the lead less than two minutes after the restart, and yet again it stems from down the right. Young lifts a cross into the middle, and Martial sends a downward header zipping off the turf and past Fabianski.

62 minSWANSEA SUB: Curtis has seen enough of that and brings more cover on in the wide areas, with Modou Barrow replacing Britton.

61 minCHANCE! Again Young is involved here, although this time he plays an early pass in to Rooney down the right channel. He cuts back and tees up Herrera, but the Spaniard can only put it over the top from the edge of the box.

60 minIt is all United at the moment. Young is giving Taylor a torrid time down that flank, with the Swansea full-back backing off and having no idea what the United man is going to do next. The hosts are getting the ball to Young whenever possible, and it is working at the moment.

58 minPositive play from Martial as he beats his man while cutting inside from the left, but his eventual effort is truly terrible, ending up going out for a goal kick.

57 minCHANCE! Good opportunity for United to double their advantage as Rooney shows decent strength to work a yard of space inside the box, but his strike is tame again and easy for the keeper.

55 minAlmost a chance for Swansea as they make a rare break forward, with Sigurdsson striding into space down the right channel. He looks for a pass inside which deflects off Darmian and threatens to loop in, but De Gea is there to pluck it out of the sky.
Re: Manchester United Vs Swansea City 2 - 1 On 2nd January 2016 by SHAIBULIAR: 5:26pm On Jan 02, 2016
65 minAt the other end Swansea nearly shoot themselves in the foot, giving the ball away deep inside their own half and allowing Mata to cut inside. The finish is wild from the Spaniard, though, and is never threatening Fabianski's goal.

64 minOFF THE POST! Swansea are inches away from levelling things up out of nothing. Sigurdsson clips a lovely pass over the top of the defence for Ayew, who has ghosted between the centre-backs and plants his header against the post with De Gea beaten! Rangel picks up the rebound but then throws himself to the floor in search of a penalty and is rightly booked for diving.

71 minGOAL! Manchester United 1-1 Swansea (Gylfi Sigurdsson)

69 minCHANCE! Martial looks to add to that goal, driving forward with direct running before exchanging a one-two with Rooney. That puts him into the good position inside the box, but he tries to stab at the ball with his right foot rather than going across goal with his left, and subsequently puts it wide of the near post
