Man Utd have problems, but Swansea deserve credit for win at Old Trafford
Swansea beat Manchester United 2-1 on Saturday but no one is talking about Garry Monk and his players. All the discussion is about Van Gaal and how United need strengthening. But when Van Gaal put his team out on Saturday, he would have been confident, after what he’d seen in pre-season, that they would have been good enough to win that football match. He didn’t put it out to lose and prove to the board they needed strengthening, he put it out to win the game. Perception is everything. If you perceive David Moyes isn’t good enough for the United job, you start to moan about him when they lose. But if you think Van Gaal is good enough, you blame the players after the weekend. Meanwhile, poor old Swansea go there, play magnificent, have their lead wiped out and yet still go on to win the game. Yes, Man United have problems and they haven’t lost on the opening day at home for quite some time but let’s give Swansea and Monk credit. He’s a new manager, it’s his first full season and against all odds — because, apart from the Swansea fans, who really fancied them to go and win? — they pulled it off. It’s a great result for them. |  |
