Struggling Manchester United prepare to square off against a resurgent Swansea City at Old Trafford on Saturday and manager Louis van Gaal may well be shown the door if the Red Devils suffer a defeat on the day.
Manchester United Match Betting News
Manchester United’s winless run stretched to eight matches after their 0-0 draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Monday but despite the disappointing score line, it has to be said that the Red Devils had put in an encouraging display.
However, it is a win which manager Louis van Gaal craves at the moment and if his side are unable to claim all three points at home against Swansea City this Saturday, the club hierarchy may well consider showing the Dutchman the door.
Jesse Lingard, Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia are all injury doubts ahead of the clash for United and look unlikely to be featuring on the day.
Swansea City Match Betting News
Swansea City continued their mini revival after managing a credible 0-0 draw away to a dangerous Crystal Palace side and it has to be said that caretaker manager Alan Curtis has managed to bring back some sort of morale to the squad.
However, Swansea still find themselves only two points off of the relegation zone and Curtis most certainly has a lot of work to do before the Swans can relax anytime soon. Up next is a clash against struggling United but despite the giants’ problems, Old Trafford remains a difficult place to visit for any side.
Franck Tabanou is injured for Swansea while the likes of Eder, Federico Fernandez and Wayne Routledge have been rated as doubts as well.
Manchester United vs Swansea City Match Prediction
Interestingly, Swansea have claimed four victories in their last five encounters against Manchester United and given the Red Devils’ current run, the away side may well fancy their chances once again.
That said, United did show improvements in their encounter against Chelsea and should in all probability be able to claim the three points.
