Clement: Swans are hitting form at right time

Swansea boss Paul Clement believes his side have turned a corner as they bid for Premier League survival.

The Swans had suffered a six-game winless run prior to their 2-0 win over Stoke at the Liberty Stadium last weekend but Clement insists the belief in the dressing room is stronger than ever.

And Clement is adamant that his troops have found form at just the right time ahead of the clash with Manchester United on Sunday.

“The players showed against Stoke that they can perform even when the anxiety and pressure is high,” said Clement.

“I thought they coped really with the pressure that comes with a must-win game, and that gives me a lot of confidence.

“Maybe I wouldn’t have been confident if we hadn’t got a result as well as a good performance last weekend.

“But I think what happened against Stoke has given us all confidence that we have turned a corner.

“We hadn’t been performing well before Stoke. The bad run we had lasted a lot longer than we would have liked.

“But we put that right against Stoke with our performance and our application and, as I say, I hope now we have turned the corner.”
