So moving on from last night's result Utd face the team with the worst defence in the league this season at home on Sunday.
A win moves us up to 3rd for at least a few hours as City & Liverpool play after us.
So to the bad new we await injury news on Pogba, Jones & Smalling but we know that Zlatan, Rojo, Mata, Fellaini & Fosu-Mensah are all definetly out. The only guy I think could be back is Pogba but I'm sort of expecting bench at best for him with Europa League midweek.
My best guess at a starting XI would be
De Gea
Valencia Bailly Blind Shaw
Carrick Herrera
Mkhitaryan Rooney Martial
Rashford
Fellaini's domestic ban means he's nailed on to start vs Celta and unless we gamble on Pogba we can't really play a 3 man midfield so my guess is Rooney comes in and plays either from the wing or in behind the striker.
This is our first chance in a long time to put scoreboard pressure on our rivals in the league win this and City & Liverpool know the fight is on.
However, this is exactly the type of match we have slipped up in all season and Swansea are fighting relegation so they aren't coming here with one eye on the beach. They looked like they'd turned a corner a few weeks back but Llorente got injured and the goals dried up and they got pulled back in but they're coming in off the back of a win last weekend.
It's that part of the season now where it doesn't matter how the points come all that matters is that at full time on Sunday Utd have taken 3 points
