Manchester United kicked off 2016 with their first victory in nine matches thanks to a 2-1 defeat of Swansea.
The pressure on Louis van Gaal was eased slightly as United found the net twice despite a lacklustre opening half.
It was a familiar sight for the home fans as once again the Old Trafford faithful sat through an opening 45 minutes without a goal.

The second half came to life as United's golden boy Anthony Martial found the back of the net with a well-placed header.
Of course, Man United fans being the optimists they are, couldn't help but wonder what more the Frenchman would be doing with a better supporting cast.

The lead didn't last, however, as Gylfi Sigurdsson brought the Swans level with a header of his own.

Naturally, a scapegoat began to emerge in the shape of England and United captain Wayne Rooney.

But Rooney came to the rescue just seven minutes later with a fantastic flicked finished and the tone changed somewhat...

The goal put Rooney into second place on two prestigious goal-scoring lists.

Although they held on for the win, it wasn't without its close calls as David de Gea denied Ashley Williams late on.

But there was only one man that fans believed was responsible for keeping the under fire Louis van Gaal in a job.
