Brendan Rodgers hails the professionalism of Manchester United after their 2-0 win over Swansea City.

Swansea City manager Brendan Rodgers has hailed Manchester United's "exemplary professionalism" after his side were beaten 2-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Paul Scholes and Ashley Young scored the goals that earned United the win but remain level on points with rivals Manchester City with a game to go.

Rodgers believes that United will come back stronger if they don't win the title this season and is excited by the race to become Premier League champions.

"I have never been in the position City and United are in next week. It is so exciting. It is brilliant. You are talking about two great sides," said Rodgers.

"The professionalism of Manchester United today was exemplary. They were probably watching the game beforehand and when Manchester City got those two late goals it could have really deflated them.

"Manchester United are serial winners. What makes them great winners is how they respond to not winning trophies.

"So if it is not for them this year, when you look at their history, they always come back the next year and win, so they will be there or thereabouts next season."

Swansea face Liverpool at the Liberty Stadium in their final game of the season on Sunday.
