The Red Devils defeated their nemesis, Swansea city by 2-goals to 1. After a goalless first half, Anthony Martial put United ahead in the 47th minute when he clinically headed home from Ashley Young’s cross. It looked like being another frustrating afternoon for the hosts when Swansea equalised with 20 minutes to go through Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Wayne Rooney restored the lead when he cleverly flicked in Martial’s cross to end his two-month wait for a goal and become the second-highest scorer in both Premier League and Manchester United history.

Swansea went close to an equaliser with the last action of the match as goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski incredibly headed narrowly wide, but United held on for their first win since November 21, which relieves some of the pressure on manager Louis van Gaal.

Desperate Measure: Manchester United recall striker From Loan Deal

Manchester United Recall Striker To Help Club ‘Score Goals Again’


Manchester United have cut short Will Keane’s loan at Preston as they ‘needed an extra body’ to bolster their goal-shy attack.


 


Louis van Gaal’s side have struggled to score goals and entertain fans this season and have netted just 22 league goals to date, with only 10 of them coming at Old Trafford.

Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial are United’s only recognised strikers after Robin van Persie, Javier Hernandez and Radamel Falcao were allowed to move on in the summer, followed by James Wilson’s exit to Brighton on a season-long loan.

The 22-year-old’s sole first-team appearance for United came as a late substitute in a home loss to Blackburn on New Year’s Eve 2011, but Preston manager Simon Grayson suggests he would be in the first-team fold at Old Trafford.

‘(It happened) in the last 24 hours or so,’ he told Sky Sports News. ‘United felt they needed an extra body around them.


Asked if Keane could answer United’s goalscoring problems, Grayson said: ‘It’s a big step up. But he’s played regularly for us, he’s fit, so time will tell.’


‘Obviously it’s disappointing to lose Will. In the last few weeks he’s been finding his feet with us, but that is what happens when you get loan players.

‘We accept it. We will probably go into the market over the next few days and weeks to bring in reinforcements. Hopefully he will do well for Manchester United.’

Keane won the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year in 2010 and has spent time at loan with Wigan, QPR and Sheffield Wednesday before joining Preston on a season-long loan.
