Swansea 0-0 Man Utd

Jordan Ayew gets Antonio Valencia's toe stuck on his chin but to his credit, he does not make a meal of it.

The former Aston Villa man gives it a quick rub and he is back into the action.

Good to see.

Bit of indiscipline from the visitors.

Marcus Rashford is not a happy chappy, complaining about the treatment he is receiving from the home players.

Bit too much verbal from the United man and he gets a chat from referee Jon Moss.

Then Paul Pogba goes in late, very late on Tom Carroll, swiping the Swansea man from behind, earning the Frenchman a deserved yellow card.

I think Paul Clement would have wanted his side to be a bit tighter defensively, United are having an easy ride so far but there is a long way to go.

Not seen much of Henrikh Mkhitaryan so far.

He provided two assists in the thumping win over West Ham last weekend.

There is heavy congestion for West Ham fans and all heading south on either the M3 or A34 ahead of this afternoon's match at Southampton. I should know - I've been stuck in it myself.

Perhaps, with a journey much longer than usual, they are listening to Swansea-Man Utd on 5 live.

Super speed shown by Kyle Bartley to keep up with Marcus Rashford, slide in and win the ball cleanly.

Bartley's Swansea career has been given a second life, having spent last season on loan at Championship side Leeds, and given a new contract this week.

Menawhile, Martin Olsson attempts an overhead kick in the box, which loops into the hands of David de Gea.

That will go down as a shot on target.

Romelu Lukaku, back towards goal, gets a ball pinged at his feet.

His first touch is good, allowing him to turn sharply, but his shot is blocked by a man in white.

Both sides have hit the crossbar, but neither goalkeeper has had his palms stung so far.

A couple of late challenges made by Swansea midfielder Leroy Fer now, on this occasion on Nemanja Matic.

Ref Jon Moss pulls him over for a word.

"Behave lad," he says.

Paul Clement is cutting a rather irate figure on the touchline, increasingly frustrated with his Swansea side's inability to get a foothold in the game.

Manchester United are bossing possession and, with their fluid midfield dictating the tempo of this match, Clement is left to flap and gesticulate at his players from the sidelines.

With the protection of Nemanja Matic now available, midfielder partner Paul Pogba is able to get forward and is the furthest man upfield for Manchester United, but Antonio Valencia's cross from the right is poor and unable to get past the first man.

Freedom for Pogba could spell trouble for Swansea as the game goes on.

Excellent play from Swansea striker Tammy Abraham, controlling Lukasz Fabianski's long punt up field and dribbling the ball away from Eric Bailly.

An uncomfortable opening for the Manchester United defender.

The home side's move peters out and United look to launch another attack.

United settling into the match now and starting to take a grip.

Juan Mata pops a cross into the box for Romelu Lukaku, but the big Belgian cannot direct his header on target.

Swansea starting to drop deeper into their own half already...

Marcus Rashford has been given the freedom to roam along the final third and the Manchester United man is seeing plenty of the ball.

This time he runs out of Liberty turf, having skinned two Swansea players down the left.

Peter Schmeichel is loving this pic then...

Juan Mata swings in a dangerous free-kick...

...United centre-back Phil Jones is the one who gets his head on it and the ball loops onto the crossbar.

No player in red can get on the follow up and both sides have struck the woodwork in the opening 10 minutes.

Looking at the replay, it comes off Jones's shoulder, which is why the effort looked like it was happening in slow motion.

One young Englishman into another, as Alfie Mawson trips Marcus Rashford down the right.

Team-mates for England at next year's World Cup?

United have a free-kick...

Leon Osman need not worry as Swansea have made a bright start.

They neeed to keep an eye on United front man Marcus Rashford, though, as he finds space on the edge of the box, but drags his shot off target.

Just did not catch it cleanly.
