Monk proud to lead Swansea for Man Utd Double

Swansea City boss Garry Monk is proud to have made history with the Double over Manchester United.

The hosts won 2-1 as Ki Sung-yueng equalised within two minutes of Ander Herrera's opener before Jonjo Shelvey's shot deflected in off Bafetimbi Gomis.

The Swans beat Louis van Gaal's side by the same scoreline at Old Trafford on the opening day of the season.

"These are the type of things you remember, stuff to tell the grandchildren," said Monk.

"To make history for this club is fantastic for this team to be remembered - and it is no mean feat.

"Everyone connected with the club should be extremely proud of that."
