Garry Monk: 'We can be positive against Manchester United'

Garry Monk insists that there is no need for Swansea City to change their approach when they host Manchester United on Sunday.

Garry Monk has insisted that Swansea City are confident enough to stick to their usual style when they host Manchester United on Sunday.

Swansea have won three of their last four matches against United, and Monk believes that his side can be positive with their approach as they look to add to the five points they have collected from the opening three games.

"We have done well over the years against the bigger teams in this league and we try to give them something to worry about and impose ourselves," the Swansea boss told reporters. "So we will not go into the game fearing anything when we play United.

"Our squad understand they are established players in this league now.

"When we first came into the league and were facing these type of teams there was an awe factor but it is clear now that my players understand they belong at this level and can have success at this level."

United are also unbeaten this season with seven points from their first three Premier League fixtures.
