It was deja vu for the Dutchman as Bafetimbi Gomis again popped up with the winner to cancel out Juan Mata’s first-half opener, with Andre Ayew impressing once more
Louis van Gaal’s winless run against Swansea City continued on Sunday as Manchester United fell to a third straight 2-1 loss.
An even first half saw little goalmouth action, with United starting strongest and should have gone ahead through Juan Mata after 21 minutes but the Swans dealt with everything thrown at them.
Garry Monk’s side grew in confidence as the approached half time, with Bafetimbi Gomis hitting the outside of the post and Gylfi Sigurdsson poking a shot just wide but the scores remained level at the break.
United started the second half in similar fashion to the first and Mata made amends for his early miss by breaking the deadlock from close range at the back post after a cross from the left evaded everyone.
Memphis Depay could have doubled the advantage almost immediately when his shot bounced off Ashley Williams, only for Andre Ayew to level matter on the hour mark with a smart header from 10 yards.
Ayew then competed the turnaround with a fine through ball to find Bafetimbi Gomes, who shot inside Sergio Romero’s near post to give the Swans the lead and a seal third straight win over United.
