Louis van Gaal must be sick of the sight of Swansea City. The Dutchman has been managing in the Premier League for little more than a year but he has now suffered three straight defeats at the hands of the Welsh club, with the latest bringing home what a terrible mess Manchester Unitedhave got into with their goalkeeping situation.


It was not much of a way for Van Gaal to celebrate his 50th game in charge of United as Sergio Romero, who looked unconvincing all afternoon, allowed Bafétimbi Gomis’s low shot to slip past him at the near post. Romero could arguably have done better with Swansea’s equaliser five minutes earlier, when the irrepressible André Ayew beat him with a downward header.
