Michu urges Swansea to bounce back in Europa League

Michu says Swansea City cannot dwell on their Premier League opening day thrashing by Manchester United.

Swansea must now dust themselves down and prepare for the first leg of their Europa League play-off tie against Romanian side Petrolul Ploiesti on Thursday.

And Michu is backing the Swans to recover quickly.

He said: "Manchester United are a better side than us, they have a lot of very good players, a lot of top players.

"For us it is difficult to compete with teams like that but we will try.

"But we can be happy because we did play well in parts of that game. We have to be strong in the mind, we will be ready to fight again on Thursday."
