Preview: Manchester United vs. Swansea City

Sir Alex Ferguson will take charge of his final match at Old Trafford as Manchester United manager on Sunday, when his side face Swansea City.

The 71-year-old Scot announced this week that he will retire at the end of this season after 26 years at the helm. After the match, United will lift the Premier League trophy for the 13th time during Ferguson's reign.

Swansea come into the match with nothing left to play for, but Michael Laudrup's side would secure a top-half finish with a win.

Swansea, who occupy ninth position in the Premier League, picked up their first win in seven attempts on Tuesday evening when they defeated Wigan Athletic 3-2.

United defender Rafael is suspended for the game after his red card in the 1-0 defeat to Chelsea last weekend, so Phil Jones is expected to replace him.

Wayne Rooney may not feature after speculation this week about his future at Old Trafford. Danny Welbeck could start up front in his place.

Swans boss Laudrup is likely to be without top scorer Michu, who has a hamstring injury, while goalkeeper Michel Vorm remains a doubt after picking up a head injury against Wigan.
