Swansea 1-4 Man Utd.
David Moyes made a winning Premier League start as Manchester United
manager with the champions cruising to a comfortable opening day victory
at Swansea City.
Moyes has been handed the task of defending United's title following
Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement after 26 years at the end of last season
- and this was business as usual with Robin van Persie the inspiration once more. Unsettled Wayne Rooney made a 30-minute appearance as a
substitute and was greeted warmly by United's travelling support despite
his unrest at Old Trafford.
Swansea's early good work was undone as Van Persie and Danny Welbeck struck twice inside two minutes just after the half-hour and United were never again under serious threat.
Van Persie capped an increasingly impressive United performance with a magnificent rising strike 18 minutes from time after he was played in by Rooney before Swansea's record £12m signing Wifried Bony, on as a half-time substitute, made an impact with a late goal but it was not enough to disrupt United's path to victory.
