Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has said that he is pleased with his side's performance against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The Welsh outfit conceded twice in the second half to lose their Premier League game 2-0.

"We controlled the first half well and it was a Manchester United side who were a little nervous after three defeats," he told Sky Sports News. "But just before we half time we conceded.

"They had a couple of chances but we controlled it well like did in the FA Cup win here. But the goal gives them a lot of strength. The first goal really hurt. I thought first half we were good and unfortunately we conceded an early goal in the second half.

"Now we have eight days until our next game against Tottenham. Hopefully we will get some players back during the week because we have a lot of injuries."

Swansea are currently 13th in the league table with 21 points from as many matches.
