Lots of last minutes action!

No goal though!

New season.

Same old United.

Another tame cross in the box.

Fellaini does his best to get nowhere near it.

16 Aug 2014

Two minutes to go.

16 Aug 2014

Swansea fans singing "Is this a library, it's so quiet"...

Might as well be. Little action.

United fans flooding out of Old Trafford.

16 Aug 2014

87' - There is a crisis at United.

They simply cannot afford to play this poorly.

Created two chances in the second half.

Mata, Nani, Fellaini all very very poor today. Plus the Little Pea who has subbed at half time.

What has Nani done since coming on?

Nothing.

Fellaini? He's tried to get sent off but failed.

16 Aug 2014

84' - Young goes on a run and shoots.

Tame shot though.

16 Aug 2014

80' - Same old Young.

His free kick finds the first white shirt and is headed clear.

16 Aug 2014

79' - Fellaini is actually terrible in the air.

Wins a corner by ducking out of the way.

Sell it!

16 Aug 2014

Pathetic United defending.

First by Blackett then by Young.

Sigurdsson strikes home.

16 Aug 2014

72' - GOAL! SWANS IN FRONT!

16 Aug 2014

19 minutes to go.

A lot to be said for Swansea's performance today.

Sold their number one keeper in Michel Vorm, their main attacker in Michu and Ben Davies.

16 Aug 2014

67' Who is going to win this game?

It's been all Red for the last twenty minutes but can Swansea snatch a late winner?

16 Aug 2014

Now for those subs.

Montero on for Dyer and Fellaini on for Herrera.

16 Aug 2014

Fabianski had no chance.

16 Aug 2014

Outside of the goal!

Great strike but no goal!
