The Dugout Discussion – Swansea vs Man United

Sunday’s tea-time kick-off pits two unbeaten sides together, as Swansea City welcome Manchester United to the Liberty Stadium. The Swans recorded a comfortable 2-0 win over Newcastle United in their last home match-up but now face a United unit that’s yet to concede a goal this term.

Garry Monk’s new-look attack has carved through the opposition with consummate ease, placing second for attempts (56) and joint-first for big chances (eight) and shots on target (24). This forward impetus has been balanced by a rigidity at the back, as evidenced by the fact they’ve conceded the fewest shots inside the box (11) of any side.

As for the Red Devils, they’ve limited their opponents to just 22 shots and one big chance in three match-ups. Having kicked off the campaign with back-to-back 1-0 wins, they’ve done just enough on the attacking front, ranking in the bottom half for shots inside the box (19) and shots on target (11).

    Why do they keep calling him Depay, when it's clear he does not want to be called that? Says Memphis on his shirt

      He can change his name. His name is Depay, so people are going to call him by his name. Obviously.

        Yes but people know that, so have some respect. It's not as if it's not common knowledge. Call him what it says on his shirt.

      That is his last name though. If he had such a big problem with it he should just change his last name imo

    ManU behind, so they bring on...
    Young and Carrick, and take off their goal-scorer.
