Manchester United played Swansea in their opening game on Saturday, attempting to continue their winning run from their preseason
However, the script was torn up as Swansea scored two goals against the most decorated English football team
In an effort to rally his teammates, Ashley Young was seen ranting and screaming at the defenders when Manchester United was trailing
Little did he know that a bird was lurking around and let go a perfectly timed strike into Young's mouth
Despite the ranting, Manchester United ultimately went on to lose 1-2 to Swansea
It was not quite the Premier League debut Louis Van Gaal imagined as a sluggish United performance at Old Trafford saw them succumb to defeat. The Dutchman has restored optimism to Old Trafford following the dark days of the David Moyes era last season and he was given a rapturous welcome as he walked out before kick-off.

Wayne Rooney hooked home an equaliser for United shortly after half-time but, in an echo of last season, United's defence fell apart to allow Gylfi Sigurdsson to score the winner.
