Monk Relishing Manchester United Challenge
Garry Monk is one Premier League manager who has a 100% record against Manchester United thanks to the league double that we achieved last season and he will be looking to continue that on Sunday at the Liberty.
Monk became the first Swans manager to do the double over United last season and those two results mean that we have won three of the last four clashes between the two sides and there is a growing belief that we can make that four from five by the time 6pm comes around on Sunday evening.
It has been a testing few years for our visitors following the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson and whilst they finished 4th last season they go through stages where they look far from convincing and I think it is fair to say that it looks the same this season.
Despite two wins and a draw from their three Premier league games they look a shadow of their former selves and there is a belief that we can go into Sunday's game and get another win under our belt and ensure that we go into the international break with an unbeaten record and above them.
Garry Monk believes that they will come to Swansea looking to avenge that double of last season and he said "Sir Alex Ferguson's legacy was unbelievable. Thanks to him, we are facing one of the biggest clubs in the world. But we relish that challenge.
"We can’t have fear. We have done well against other big clubs.
"My players are now established Premier League players. Before there was a bit of awe but now that's not the case."

Swans crush Blackburn : Was it just a coincidence ?It was Swansea City’s day today, the shackles were off with the team slightly tweaked, and at last we saw what summer signing Vipotnik is all about.

Ramsay, still only just turned their twenty three has his eyes set on his current employers so it looks like that’s another one off the list for now.
Swansea City : Go for number one, save time looking for second best We had had a good look around the latest betting on the next Swansea City manager. Basically the bookies in this market are generally far off the mark when it comes to Swansea betting. They wheel out a few anomalies like Russell Martin who would never return to the club and prey on fans hope more than sense.
