The Swede didn't feature against Arsenal but found his shooting boots with a brace against the Swans - with United fans eager for him to recapture early season form.

Fresh from signing a contract extension, he said: "I feel in shape, feel fresh and good. If I feel like I do now, it will be a second year."

Wayne Rooney sported a heavy beard as he looks to put a fortnight of disappointment behind him, after only making the bench against Arsenal.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is in line to play for United after a torrid start to life at Old Trafford, after he's struggled to break into Jose's first-team plans.
