Another away game for Manchester United and a chance for José Mourinho’s players to respond to the manager’s scathing criticism of their efforts against Fenerbahce. Swansea, on the face of it, should be benign opponents. They are second from bottom, without a victory since the opening day and have collected only two points from a possible 27, prompting Bob Bradley to describe keeping Swansea up as a “huge” job. Mourinho must feel the same way about turning United around. Stuart James
