Last season’s Capital One Cup winners, Swansea, will be hoping to improve on last season’s ninth place and will again be looking to their main man Michu (18 goals last season) to start the season in lethal fashion. Swansea fans will also be looking forward to seeing new £12m striker Wilfried Bony.

United manager David Moyes will be looking for a positive result in his first game in charge since taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson in the summer. The summer has been dominated by headlines on Wayne Rooney’s future and with no big summer signings yet Man United fans will be looking to Robin van Persie to continue his great form after an excellent first season at Old Trafford scoring 26 Premiership goals.
