Fabianski met Sigurdsson’s corner with a powerful header but it went agonisingly the wrong side of the post to ensure that the Swans started 2016 with a defeat after another brave but ultimately fruitless performance at Old Trafford.

The Swans were beaten 2-1 thanks to Wayne Rooney’s backheel winner, a goal that Fabianski could do nothing about and one that he admired at the end of the game รขโ‚ฌล“I think you have to give Wayne Rooney massive credit for the second goal” he said.

“That was something not many players can do. He showed his class. It was a great touch and finish. There wasnรขโ‚ฌโ„ขt much we could do.”

And on his near miss at the end รขโ‚ฌล“I had a really good contact on the ball with a clear header and was just hoping it would squeeze in but unfortunately it went wide. It was a little bit unlucky.

รขโ‚ฌล“Our recent performances show this group is together, thatรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs for sure. We believe in our current manager, Alan Curtis. No matter what happens with him or a new manager, we promised ourselves something and we want to represent Swansea City to get the results. Even though we lost today, we can be positive.รขโ‚ฌย
