With the second half now underway, Man Utd are currently trailing against Swansea City thanks to a Ki Sung Yueng goal from outside the box - with a massive, and questionably legal assist from Wilfried Bony, who blocked Phil Jones from intercepting. The tale of the half was very much that goal, as well as the performances of United's young understudies Jesse Lingard and Tyler Blackett. Meanwhile, the third replacement - Javier Hernandez - has now gone off to be replaced by Nani as United look to hit back in the second half at Old Trafford. Here are the key stats from the first 45..
7. 56%
Man Utd have had the lion's share of possession, but crucially they haven't taken advantage of their superior time on the ball to break down Swansea's defence decisively.
6. 23
The number of minutes Jesse Lingard stayed on the pitch before injury cut short his first Premier League appearance of the season.
5. 4
Swansea have had just 2 shots so far - one crucial from Ki Sung Yueng of course - while Man Utd so far have had 6. That's on top of 5 chances created, to Swansea's 2 - but in truth, United haven't created enough, which might be why Nani has replaced Hernandez.
4. 12
The number of crosses United put into the box in the first half. That's one more than they managed in the entire reverse fixture on the opening game of the 2013/14 season. https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/500623633971425280
3. 87%
As is to be expected at Old Trafford, United have been imperious with their passing - compared to Swansea's 80% in the first half.
2. 8
Crucially though, Swansea have made 8 tackles - 5 more than United - and are clearly sticking to their task of containing United's attempts to attack expansively.
1. 96%
The most prolific of passers so far has been young Tyler Blackett, who has strung together a massive 45 passes, with a huge accuracy of 96%, which will have pleased his manager no end. https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/500624606290796544 Do you think United can turn it round?
