Manchester United v Swansea City - As it happened

The end

United let a marvellous chance to go up to third go to waste. Swansea were better in the first half but Rooney put his side in front from the spot. The hosts failed to put the fixture to bed and Sigurdsson made them pay with a wonder strike into the top corner.

Half time

Swansea have been better in the first half, and yet United find themselves in front thanks to De Gea's saves and Rooney's penalty conversion just before half time.
