Ghana forward Jordan Ayew excelled for Swansea City but they were hammered 4-0 by a rampant Manchester United side in the English Premier League at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

Ayew kept up his good start to the campaign at Southampton last week with another impressive outing for the Welsh-based club but they were down by Jose Mourinho and his charges.

The 25-year-old was unlucky to have missed a chance in the 2nd minute after his brilliant outside foot shot skewed off the woodwork.

Goals from Eric Bailly, Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial condemned Paul Clement's side to their first loss of the campaign.

A blistering three-goal burst in four minutes saw Manchester United sweep aside Swansea City to continue their impressive winning start to the Premier League season.

Both teams hit the bar in a frantic start to the match - Jordan Ayew's scooped cross for the hosts and Phil Jones' header for United - and it was the visitors made their dominance pay on the cusp of half-time as Eric Bailly tapped in.

Having initially struggled to unlock their opponents' well-drilled defence, United then opened the floodgates after 80 minutes as Romelu Lukaku confidently struck his third goal in two games for the club.

Paul Pogba added a third two minutes later with a delicately lifted finish and, shortly afterwards, substitute Anthony Martial fired in low to give United a second 4-0 win from their first two matches of the campaign.

After thrashing West Ham on the opening weekend, it had appeared this would be a sterner examination for United against an organised and defensively diligent Swansea side.

Jordan saw 90 minutes of action.
