Van Persie, Welbeck doubles give United winning start
Posted Sunday, August 18, 2013 by YAHOO Sport
Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck both scored twice to lift Manchester United to an emphatic 4-1 win over Swansea City in David Moyes's first English Premier League match in charge on Saturday.
Van Persie opened the scoring after 34 minutes, controlling a bouncing ball in the penalty area and swivelling expertly to hook it in right-footed from eight metres.
Welbeck doubled the lead two minutes later with a close range tap-in and Van Persie added a third after 72 minutes with a fine individual effort.
Wilfried Bony pulled one back for Swansea but Welbeck dinked in his second goal in stoppage time following a pass by substitute Wayne Rooney to give the champions a comfortable victory to start their title defence.
