Both the sides are currently unbeaten in the league and will be hoping to maintain that at the expense of one another when they meet on Sunday. Swansea have started the season brightly and after restricting Chelsea to a 2-2 draw in the opening game they defeated Newcastle 2-0 in their subsequent outing and then drew against Sunderland in their last Premier League encounter.
The Red Devils on the other hand are yet to hit the ground running in league outings but have still produced decent results. They were held to a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford by Newcastle but secured qualification to the Champions League group stages after a convincing 4-0 win over Club Brugge in the second leg of the Champions League playoff match.
Van Gaal will now be looking to record his first league win over his Sunday's opponents having suffered defeat in both the matches played last season. His first competitive match in-charge of the club last season resulted in a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Swans with Ki Sung-yueng and Gylfi Sigurdsson getting on the score sheet.
However the Dutchman believes his team is in a better shape this time around and is capable of producing a better result.
"I don't want to lose again," he said. "It's the only club we could not beat or gain one point against [last season]. I hope we can improve and that we can show that we are better than last year.
"My first match was against Swansea and we lost - now I have my 50th and I hope we can show we have improved. It will be difficult to beat them but we are better prepared than this time last year.
The Dutch tactician also revealed that Belgian star Adnan Januzaj will not be in the squad after suffering an injury.
"Adnan Januzaj was injured and because of that he was out of the team. He shall not play against Swansea."
Bafétimbi Gomis has been Swansea's danger man so far this season and will be the player to look out for. He has benefited from Bony's departure who sealed a move to Man City last season and has scored five goals in all competitions so far in just four appearances.
Man United will continue to be without defender Phil Jones whereas Jonny Evans has completed a move to West Brom.
