A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Football : English Premier League
Venue: Old Trafford
12th May 2013 – Kickoff time 16:00
Match Preview :
Manchester United goes into this match with Swansea knowing that it will be Sir Alex Ferguson's last match in charge at Old Trafford before David Moyes takes over in the summer.
And the Red Devils knows that if they can win their remaining two games of the season, then they can equal their best ever points haul from a Premier League season (91 - 1999/00).
Ferguson will want his boys to produce a good performance after an inconsistent run of form over the last few weeks which has brought just two wins from six Premier League games. The Red Devils have also lost at home to both Manchester City and Chelsea, and Ferguson will not want his final match at the Theatre of Dreams to end without a win.
Ferguson may start with his strongest eleven rather then giving some of the fringe players a start after his announcement of retirement.
Menwhile, Swansea will aim to spoil the party and at the same time hope to to finish the campaign on a high after a midweek win over struggling Wigan Athletic. Michael Laudrup's side had been on a seven-match winless run prior to the 3-2 win at the DW Stadium since winning the Capital One League Cup.
Team News :
Manchester United Team News :
It remains to be seen if Wayne Rooney will start this match after reports that the striker has asked to leave in the summer. Rooney started on the bench against Chelsea last weekend, but will hope for a recall, and there could also be a place for Paul Scholes following his spot among the substitutes a week ago after being out for three months with injury.
Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs may also start, and David de Gea could be restored in goal after Anders Lindegaard was given a chance in the 1-0 defeat by Chelsea.
Swansea Team News :
Angel Rangel and Michel Vorm will miss Swansea's trip to face the Champions. Right-back Rangel has a calf injury, while Vorm is still recovering from the concussion he suffered in the win against Wigan.
However, Michu could be set for a surprise return from a hamstring injury, just a week after manager Michael Laudrup had said he would miss the remainder of the season. Centre-half Chico Flores is also in contention to start. Itay Schechter is on standby if Michu does not start.
Prediction:
Go for Manchester United to win and give the 1 3/4 ball.
