Louis van Gaal’s reign as Manchester United manager began with a defeat by Swansea that revived memories of last year’s dismal campaign at Old Trafford.
The hosts fell behind to Ki Sung-yueng’s precise 20-yard shot, before skipper Wayne Rooney levelled with a close-range volley from a corner.
United had more of the ball but failed to deal with Jefferson Montero’s cross, allowing Gylfi Sigurdsson to tap in.
Van Gaal’s side almost conceded a third but Bafetimbi Gomis miscontrolled.
