Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup says his players are ready for their Premier League opener against defending champs Manchester United.
Laudrup has pointed out that no side welcomes the task of facing United, regardless of the time of the season.
He said: "I have to be careful when people say this is a good time for us to play United. We could lose 3-0 on Saturday.
"There is never a right time to play a team like United because of the quality they have.
"But we have to play them at some stage and I suppose at the beginning of the season it is not too bad.
"I look at their XI and who could play and whatever they do they have a really strong squad.
"Anything is possible when you play them. But we have to play all the big teams and it is not too bad to play them now than in October.
"But it is still difficult, so don't laugh at me if they beat us on Saturday."
