Man Utd Team News: Injuries, suspensions and line-up vs Swansea image

Manchester United are looking to stretch their winning run in the Premier League to four games and hold on to second place when they host Swansea City on Saturday.

The Red Devils have little chance of catching Manchester City, but Jose Mourinho's side can be caught themselves, with Liverpool lurking two points behind and Tottenham Hotspur a further two back in fourth.

Although United won the earlier meeting, Swansea won on their visit to Old Trafford in April 2017 and have lost just two of their last five away games at United and will be hoping to increase their chances of survival with a positive result.

Daley Blind is still injured, while Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and ​Ander Herrera are doubts for Saturday's game.
