Swansea City vs. Manchester United
This weekend marks the opening week of the Barclays Premier League, and Manchester United starts its season on the road to take on Swansea City.
Last season, United finished 7th on the table with just 64 points. This week, new boss Louis Van Gaal announced Wayne Rooney as the captain of the squad this year as it looks to get back to the top of the Premier League. The club brought in Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw for hefty fees, though United did lose longtime players Patrice Evra, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Ryan Giggs, the latter to retirement.
