Neil Taylor: 'Swansea City can beat Manchester United'

Swansea's Neil Taylor admits that his side need to re-evaluate following their defeat to West Brom, but insists that they can beat Manchester United later this month.

Swansea City defender Neil Taylor has insisted that his side can beat Manchester United when the two teams meet at the Liberty Stadium later this month.

The Swans have won just one of their last seven matches in the Premier League and fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of relegation-threatened West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday night.

Taylor acknowledged that his side were not good enough against the Baggies and barely posed a threat in front of goal, but hopes to use their upcoming 10-day break to "re-evaluate" and "go again".

"We could still be playing now and we wouldn't score, which is not good. We have to re-evaluate. [We need to] go again and not let one game really put us down. But this calendar year, we haven't really got going yet and we need to," Taylor is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"We're still ninth in the Premier League table, still in a healthy position. But hopefully we can turn it around, go again and put a smile on faces. At home, the Swansea I've known down the years, we can beat anybody on their day if we play well.

"It's another thing to talk about next week, but at the moment we need to sort of worry about this game and see where it went wrong and go again. We should be bang up for it anyway. In the easy bread and butter games we've got to go and get results. Man Utd [coming] to Swansea is still a bonus game, how we see it. From the first year we came up if we can get results against those teams, it's a bonus."

Swansea won the reverse fixture against Manchester United at Old Trafford on the opening day of the season in what was Louis van Gaal's first match in charge of the Red Devils.
