Perhaps this was not quite the perfect match
for Manchester United as we did allow
Swansea City to score while a clean sheet
would have been a great boost for our
defenders, but it was nothing more than a
consolation for the home side.
In many ways, though, this was just what Jose
Mourinho and the Red Devils need as we head
into the latest international break. Zlatan
Ibrahimovic put his recent troubles in front of
goal well behind him with a first half double
that will have restored any confidence lost in
recent weeks.
The other player who needed a boost was our
world record transfer from Juventus and so the
stunning third goal scored by Paul Pogba was
just what the doctor ordered today.
To be perfectly honest, there was not a great
deal of opposition from the Swans who gave us
all the time and space we could have wished
for, but you can only beat what is in front of
you as they say. United have played well and
dominated games without getting the rewards
and a lot of the problems on the pitch seem to
have stemmed from a lack of confidence.
Now everyone at the club can feel a lot better
over the next two weeks and come back ready
for the next EPL game, which is a tough one at
home to Arsenal. Another bonus for United
was that the Gunners were held to a
disappointing draw by Tottenham so was this
almost a perfect day?
