#2 Swansea are let off the leash in the second half and Tammy Abraham makes a case

Swansea looked a much better team in the second half after the introduction of Tammy Abraham

The Welsh side were always going to struggle against Manchester United at Old Trafford. They had been swept aside earlier in the season by the Red Devils when Mourinho's men turned on the afterburners in the last 10 minutes and smashed and grabbed three goals from it.

They showed a bit too much respect for United in the first half but in the second, with the introduction of Tammy Abrahams and Carvalhal deciding to let his players off the leash, Swansea looked like a whole different side.

From the 52nd minute to the 65th, Swansea were the better side on the field as United's complacency once again let their opponents boogie back into the game.

Abrahams' mobility led to some nervy moments for the United defence and he would have even pulled one back but for the absolute brilliance of David De Gea.

Carvalhal has really revived this side and, if they can produce more of what they did in the second half - the same positive, front foot style of football, they could yet save their season and contently look forward to the next.
