Swansea City: Paul Clement inspired by brother's experience at Old Trafford

Facing Manchester United at Old Trafford is a daunting task for most sides, so it would be understandable if Swansea City, deep in relegation strife, travelled there on Sunday with some trepidation.

Yet despite their current struggle for survival, the Swans will not be short of reasons to be hopeful.

As well as winning two of their last four matches at Old Trafford, their head coach Paul Clement will be able to call on a particularly personal inspiration.

The 44-year-old was in the away end at the 'Theatre of Dreams' 12 years ago, watching his brother Neil play for West Bromwich Albion in their bid to pull off the most dramatic of escapes from relegation.
