United versus Swansea: Valencia celebrates
Seems like all that booing has given United a boot up the backside as they come hairing out the gates at the start of the second half. Shinji Kagawa heads a Januzaj cross back across goal, the ball dropping into space unoccupied by Swansea's defenders. Valencia arrives to sidefoot gratefully into the bottom left. Old Trafford erupts, in relief as much as anything Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

United versus Swansea: Danny Welbeck celebrates
Just before the hour mark Januzaj whips a cross in from the right. It's headed clear towards Patrice Evra, who hits a shot towards the bottom right from outside the area. It's going wide, but Danny Welbeck sticks out a leg to adroitly guide home into the bottom right Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

United versus Swansea: Chris Smalling misses
Shinji Kagawa crosses from the left and the ball falls at the feet of Chris Smalling, four yards out. He's got to score, but scoops the ball way over the bar instead. What a miss! Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer
United versus Swansea: Shinji Kagawa miss
In the last quarter of the game United are two on one as Rafael slips the ball right to Kagawa, who takes a touch inside Davies but his attempt to pass the ball past Tremmel and into the net is intercepted on the line by Britton, and Swansea hack clear Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer
United versus Swansea: David Moyes
Moyes is all smiles at the end as United's improved second half performance gives them a well deserved win. Could United be on the road to recovery? At the very least they need to build on that performance ahead of next weekend's trip to current league leaders Chelsea. If they win that one they'll only be six points behind Mourniho's side, and the recent travails will be forgotten.
