Fading Man United plot swift Swansea payback

LONDON, Jan 10, 2014 (AFP) - Manchester United will look for immediate revenge against Swansea City on Saturday, a week after the Welsh club pulled off a shock victory at Old Trafford in the FA Cup.

Having lost to Tottenham Hotspur, in the league, and Sunderland, in the League Cup, either side of last Sunday's defeat by Swansea, United have lost their first three games of the year for the first time since 1932.

The New Year's Day defeat by Spurs left David Moyes's side 11 points behind leaders Arsenal in the Premier League and striker Danny Welbeck has admitted that the defending champions face a struggle even to finish in the top four.

“Being a Manchester lad and being a United fan, there is extra passion inside me and it does hurt me when I see the team losing. It hurts a lot to see United not winning,” Welbeck said.
