Hello and welcome to live coverage of Manchester United v Swansea.

Bailly gets a shove from Ayew as he prepares to hoof the ball long. Foul to United, and De Gea will boot the free kick down the pitch.

The match gets underway.

This is a must-win game for both teams, lest they let the chance of three points slip.

Swansea, however, can ony get to 17th with a win. A defeat and they will be three points adrift of safety with no more games in hand.

If United win today, they will - perhaps briefly - go ahead of Manchester City, and depending on goal difference, leapfrog Liverpool too. They could get as high as third.

Here's some of the latest transfer rumours involving United, who are apparently after two midfielders.

Swansea City continue with Leon Britton in midfield, and have a few dangerous players to call upon. Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente can score from very little, and they should go for the three points today after Hull pulled away from them yesterday.

Manchester United do not call on Jose Mourinho to feature in central defence, as had been mooted earlier in the week. However, there are signs of a stretched squad. Daley Blind is in the back four, Axel Tuanzebe and Scott McTominay are two youngsters with a chance, and Juan Mata is back from a groin problem.

TEAMS: Manchester United: De Gea, Young, Bailly, Blind, Shaw, Carrick, Ander Herrera, Lingard, Rooney, Martial, Rashford. Subs: Romero, Darmian, Tuanzebe, Valencia, Mata, McTominay, Mkhitaryan. /// Swansea City: Fabanski, Naughton, Mawson, Fernandez, Kingsley, Carroll, Britton, Ki, Sigurdsson, Ayew, Llorente. Subs: Nordfeldt, Amat, Olsson, Cork, Fer, Montero, Borja.
