Swansea City 1 Manchester United 4 – Five talking points

4. Newly bred Swans does belong to the Premier League pasture

After acquiring the most valued Premier League scalp of last season in the form of Michu, Swansea will always be on the European watchlist for their sheer ability to find the rare bargains in the current transfer market.

And from whatever we’ve witnessed during the effective stints of Wilfried Bony and midfielder Jose Canas, it seems the Welsh club have got it right again. Both the players on the home debut did have an impact on the game as Canas was pretty much successful in winning the central midfield battle.

Also, Bony’s pace and aerial prowess inside the box offers intriguing possibilities with Michu being the ideal striking partner. The Ivorian’s well-taken goal on debut should also do its bit in helping his confidence, even if it had little to do with the end result of the game.
