Fabianski insists Swansea can upset Man Utd

Swansea City goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski says they're capable of upsetting Manchester United in their Premier League opener.

The Swans will be United's first league opponents under new manager Louis van Gaal, but former Arsenal goalkeeper Fabianski has warned there is no danger of Swansea allowing the Dutchman a gentle introduction.

"I am not sure what they (United) are going to be preparing for," Poland international Fabianski told Swansea's official website.

"It's not going to be an easy game for them. We are going to give our best and try to win it.

"We are going to be well-prepared for the game and it's going to be very interesting.

"There is no point to fear the opposition, especially as Swansea beat them away in the FA Cup (last season) so we should not be fearing anything.

"They are a big club, but we are going to go there and try to get some points. That's our aim.

"We are not going to lie down and let them play. We are going to go for it as well and hopefully it will be a good game with a good result for us."
