Manchester United's under-pressure manager Louis van Gaal has made one change to the side that started Monday's goalless draw with Chelsea.

Phil Jones slots in at centre-back alongside Chris Smalling but comes in for full-back Matteo Darmian, who is on the bench.

Wayne Rooney, club captain, starts up front and Memphis Depay is on the bench as the home side look for their first win in six league games.

Swansea City's caretaker boss Alan Curtis makes major alterations to his line-up, with seven changes from their draw against Crystal Palace.

A number of first-team regulars return, including Gylfi Sigurdsson and Andre Ayew. Jonjo Shelvey, who started on Monday at Selhurst Park, is not named in the matchday squad.

Line-ups

Manchester United: De Gea, Young, Jones, Smalling, Blind, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Mata, Herrera, Martial, Rooney

Substitutes: Romero, Darmian, McNair, Carrick, Pereira, Fellaini, Memphis.

Swansea City: Fabianski, Rangel, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor, Britton, Ki Sung-Yueng, Cork, Sigurdsson, Routledge, Ayew

Substitutes: Nordfeldt, Naughton, Amat, Grimes, Montero, Barrow, Gomis
