Van Gaal era begins with defeat, as Swansea stun Manchester United

.The Louis van Gaal era at Manchester United got off to a terrible start as Swansea City grabbed a stunning victory to kick-off the Premier League season.

United dominated possession but fell behind in the first half to a Ki Sung-Yeung strike from the edge of the box. Rejuvenated in the second half by switching to a flat back four, United equalised as skipper Wayne Rooney hooked in an overhead kick on 52 minutes.


However, just as United looked like they might be able to push for a winner, they fell behind to a Gylfi Sigurdsson strike that gave Swansea their second consecutive victory at Old Trafford having never previously beaten them before last season’s triumph in the FA Cup.
