The Red Devils are sitting at fourth place in the EPL table after bagging seven points from a possible nine. They began their campaign with back-to-back 1-0 wins over Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa before being held to a goalless draw by Newcastle United.

Louis Van Gaal’s troops will travel to Swansea having sealed a berth in the group stage of Champions League thanks to an aggregate 7-1 win over Club Brugge.

Swansea, on the other hand, are placed eighth in the league standing after collecting five points from three games.

The South-Welsh side opened the new season with a 2-2 draw against reigning Premier League champions Chelsea before beating Swansea City 2-0 and were held to a 1-1 draw by Sunderland last time out.
