Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has said that his team will be fired up for Sunday's visit of Manchester United.

The Dane believes that the quality of opposition will bring the best out in his players, who are battling in mid-table.

"We won't approach the game any differently," Laudrup told reporters. "These games are quite easy for me as a manager; we'll do some tactical stuff beforehand and then we'll play the game.

"I know that the players will be focused and motivated because of who we are playing. But whatever the result, we don't have time to stop. We have to then prepare for Reading and then Fulham two days after that and then Aston Villa on New Year's Day.

"Of course we would like to win on Sunday, but if we do then there will be a lot of focus on the club again. My focus now is on the next four games, but we have to take one at a time."

The Swans have lost their last two games.
