MANCHESTER England (Reuters) - Louis van Gaal's first Premier League game in charge of Manchester United ended in a 2-1 defeat to Swansea City on Saturday with his new team looking well short of title material.

Gylfi Sigurdsson, back at Swansea after signing from Tottenham Hotspur, fired in the 72nd minute winner from close range to stun the hosts who had drawn level through skipper Wayne Rooney shortly after halftime.
