Live in-play betting – 

Manchester will be hoping to see off the challenge of Swansea as they continue to march towards a top 4 finish while Swansea will be looking for a victory  that could take them out of the relegation zone.

The Red Devils will be frustrated to have drawn their rescheduled match with Manchester City on Thursday evening.

This game offers them another opportunity to get closer to their target.

They have won 3 of their last 5 games, and drew the rest.

Their overall stat shows that they have not lost any game in their past 8 games in all competitions.

At home, they have not lost any of their last 9 games in all competitions, recording 6 wins and 3 draws.

Swansea City are fighting hard to make a late escape from relegation and they will know playing Manchester United at this time will be very difficult.

They have gone through 3 managers this season, yet they are still fighting for their safety.

They are currently 18th in the league table and after amassing just 31 points from 34 games, they currently lead Middlesbrough by 4 points and trail Hull City by just 2 points.

Away from home, Swansea have been terrible – they have lost all of their last 8 away games and there is no doubt Manchester United will try to exploit them early and grab an early goal.
