After sealing his move, McKay said: "It's great to be here. It is a new project for me and I am really looking forward to it.

The Transfer Talk podcast discusses whether Jose Mourinho's frustrations with Manchester United's transfer activity this summer is justified.

"The Championship is a hard league - anyone can beat anyone - but there is no reason why we cannot do well.

"Coming here gives me a different opportunity and a chance to play. I have watched a lot of clips of Swansea - I have done my research.

"I've met the manager and spoken to him. He gives a lot of confidence to his players and the way he wants to play suits my game."
