With the announcement that he'll be retiring at the end of the season to be replaced by David Moyes, this game will be Sir Alex Ferguson's 1499th as Manchester United manager, and his final one at Old Trafford. Mid-table Swansea travel to face the champions, on the back of their first win in seven matches.
Manchester United vs. Swansea City: Preview and TV schedule
There’s only one narrative to follow in this match, as Sir Alex Ferguson takes charge of his final ever match at Old Trafford.
The champions will lift the Premier League trophy at the end of the match, and will be eager to ensure Swansea don’t spoil the celebrations. They’ve lost two of their last three games at home, though are strong favourites to beat a Swansea team who’ve only won twice since winning the Capital One Cup in February.
United will be without Ashley Young and Darren Fletcher again, with both out for the rest of the season. Danny Welbeck missed United's 1-0 defeat to Chelsea last weekend, though could return. Rafael Da Silva is sidelined through suspension after kicking David Luiz, while Wayne Rooney may be omitted by Ferguson after recently handing in a transfer request.
Swansea have a string of doubts, though top scorer Michu is definitely unavailable. Michel Vorm, Ki Sung-Yueng, Chico Flores and Roland Lamah all could play after recent injuries.
