Manchester United fail to take revenge over Swansea City as they lost 2-1 at the Liberty Stadium. Swansea managed to secure three wins over United in the last three matches including a double last season. Juan Mata opened his goal scoring tally for the 2015 premier league season as he netted past Fabianski just three minutes after the start of the second half. Swansea were quick to react as Ayew equalized, marking his third goal of the season. The Ghanian international was instrumental again as his cross found Gomis who managed to find the net past Romero as Swansea were up from behind in the 66th minute. Sergio Romero had a difficult time in the goal for United as he ad trouble clearing off balls and never looked like the same person who managed three clean sheets in his last three games for United.

| Rooney failing to score against Swansea |
Man United started off with Herrera in the number 10 role with Januzaj out injured, Herrera was instrumental in the Champions League tie against Club Brugge scoring on his first start of the season. The first half was were dull with fewer changes created by both the sides.
Second half substitutions, Carrick came over for Schneiderlin and Young for Mata as Herrera still remained in the number 10 role. As things were not going well Van Gaal brought on Fellaini for Herrera with just 15 minutes left on the clock. Fellaini missed the first three games of the season as he was suspended in the last game of the previous season against Hull City. Fellaini played on the top with Rooney playing just behind him but was not able to find the back of the goal, adding to the questions on the United front line. United need to do more business within the next 48 hours as the squad needs more depth in terms of pace and quality front men.
Ayew is turning out to be a wonderful addition to the Swansea side who managed to find the crucial goals against top sides like Manchester United and Chelsea. Ayew scored an important equalizer against Chelsea on the opening week of the premier league which held the Champions to a draw. Gomis also is turning out to be more productive with four goals already under his belt.
For United, they need to find consistency on the top going into the International break as they need to gear up ahead of their first big game of the season when they next host Liverpool on the 12th of September.
