IF Manchester United are as bad as we have been told since
Saturday lunchtime, why did nobody give Swansea City a chance of beating them
this weekend?
Because for all the weaknesses within
this United side compared to the various top-class teams Sir Alex Ferguson put
together, the current crop were still expected to have far too much power for
Swansea.
No-one, as Garry Monk pointed out
afterwards, thought his team would have a hope in hell of troubling United on
the first day of their new era.
Swansea, therefore, deserve more credit
than they have received for what goes down as one of their most famous
victories regardless of United's current state.
Predictably, Swansea's first ever
league triumph at Old Trafford has been met with minimal praise for them and
maximum criticism for United.
Last season, David Moyes was carpeted
every time the Red Devils dropped points, yet Gylfi Sigurdsson's late winner
has not prompted flak for Louis van Gaal.
