Swansea captain Ashley Williams is firm that his team will not be sidetracked by the circus that will surround Louis van Gaal's first game in charge of the Manchester United in the Premier League.

Swansea had travelled all the way to match up against United at Old Trafford on Saturday. For certain, all eyes will be on van Gaal and his new 3-4-1-2 game play formation. However, Williams is staying focused on his team and their system under manager Garry Monk.

"We couldn't really have got a bigger game, but the spotlight is obviously with them as they've got a new manager and it's on their ground," said Williams.

"We won't worry about them. We've been working on a system, how we want to play. We need to concentrate on that really and go into the game positive.

"For us, we're just concentrating on ourselves, whoever the opponent is. We're aware we're going away to Old Trafford, but I think in these type of games we need to worry about ourselves and what we're doing.

"Let's be honest, everyone will be tuning in to see what the new-look Man United are doing. The only people worrying about Swansea will be Swansea fans."

The Swansea captain added that he cannot conclude on anything as of now since they will be playing with the same team but with a lot of difference since United is under a new manager.

"Much has been made about the formation they're playing which will be the same as Holland played in the World Cup.

"It will be different and it's funny that we're playing them again like last season. But we're ready. We had a positive pre-season - it's been really good.

"I wanted a good one but it's probably the best I've ever had and I know we've got a strong squad."We've had a high turnover of players, but I feel confident in the players I've got around me."
