Manchester United face Swansea City at Old Trafford on Sunday, April 30. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Manchester United are poised to continue their great run of games when Swansea visit them at Old Trafford. Jose Mourinho’s men have found a solid streak of games where they’ve been able to suck the life of out their opponents and counter effectively. Sound familiar? That’s because this is what Mourinho can do when his team is talented, but not good enough to beat opponents on straight skill.
This matchup has huge ramifications for both sides. Swansea continue to fight to get out of the relegation zone. This game is vital for Paul Clement’s side to have a chance to stay up. Despite heading into the fortress that is Old Trafford, Swansea will be hoping for a point.
Manchester United need another key victory to keep their hopes of playing in Europe a potential reality. Without key man Zlatan Ibrahimovic other members of the United squad have stepped up in his giant place. Anthony Martial, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and yes, Wayne Rooney have been key in keeping consistent pressure on defenders that hold onto the ball too long. Their offensive game plan didn’t have to change all that much without Ibrahimovic. They rely less on set pieces and continue to use their pace on the counter to threaten teams the offensive end.
