Manchester United vs Swansea City highlights (1-2)

Manchester United's ambition to start off their new season with all three points suffered a disappointment as they were surprisingly beaten by Swansea City.

Starting their season under a new tactician at Old Trafford, there's no other expectation aside from three points especially after their fine form at preseason.

However, apparently results during those friendly games didn't mean much as instead getting themselves in front, United were trailing after 28 minutes when Ki Sung-Yueng opened the scoring for Swansea.

That slender lead lasted until half time break as Man United failed to get an equalizing goal during that first 45 minutes period.

After the break, United were pushing hard to get back on level terms and their effort was finally rewarded when Wayne Rooney made it 1-1 on 53 minutes.

Just when it looked like that match were going into Man United's favor, Swansea strike again as they restored their lead through Gylfi Sigurdsson on 73 minutes.

None of Louis Van Gaal's men efforts were successful afterwards as Swansea holding on to their slender lead and grabbed a historic opening day win over United.
