Swansea 2 – 1 Man U
Swansea scores their first goal at Old Trafford through Ki Sung-yeung. This prompts Louis Van Gaal to make quick substitutions and change the game format from the original 3-5-2 to 4-4-1-1 which rewarded the team with a goal through Rooney but they couldn’t hold onto the draw for long as Swansea scored another to emerge winners of this game.
We didn’t reach our level, what we have shown in the past, and that is disappointing. That’s why we lost today. We need defenders, but I have already said that. We never played as a team today, and that was our error.
Captain against Swansea
Rooney is named Captain and is expected to lead his team against Swansea on Saturday. He succeeds Nemanja Vidic who left the club for Italian side Inter Milan.
I look forward to leading the team out on Saturday at our first match of the new season.
