Manchester United are looking to continue their flying start to the new Premier League season when they face Swansea away on Saturday afternoon.

Jose Mourinho's men, who emphatically overcame West Ham 4-0 in their opening league match, were pictured boarding their flight to Swansea on Friday afternoon in the rain.

The former Chelsea boss appeared to be in a gloomy mood as he prepared to take off with his players on the eve of the game against Paul Clement's side.

Furthermore, the likes of Anthony Martial, Paul Pogba, Chris Smalling, Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Daley Blind all seemed in a focused mood as they boarded the plane ahead of their short flight.

The Old Trafford outfit go into the weekend's match full of confidence following their drubbing of the Hammers last weekend.

Goals from Pogba, Martial and a brace from new boy Romelu Lukaku gave United the perfect start to the new campaign as they look to fight for the title.

Meanwhile, earlier on Friday, Portuguese boss Mourinho accepted that United may not make any more signings this summer.

Mourinho wants to add a wide player despite spending £146million on Lukaku, Nemanja Matic and Victor Lindelof, and has been strongly linked with Inter Milan's Ivan Perisic and Gareth Bale at Real Madrid.

But asked about making a fourth signing, he replied: 'I don't think we are, unless something happens to put us in the market again.

'I told (executive vice-chairman) Mr (Ed) Woodward my plans were four, but I also told him be cool – no pressure from me, do what you think is best for the club.

'We will be together again for anther transfer window in January and next summer so no pressure from me at all. I'm happy with the squad we have. I'm ready to go without the fourth player. If we are out of market, I'm fine, I'm ready.'
