Premier League remains the priority for Swansea, says Michael Laudrup

Michael Laudrup is delighted to have Swansea competing on multiple fronts, but says the Premier League remains his priority.

Competitive

With his priorities laid out, Laudrup feels early European football could work in Swansea's favour - as they ready themselves for a visit from reigning champions Manchester United on the opening weekend of the new season. He added: "When you go in from pre-season to the first game in the league, I think every manager has doubts about where his team are. "I felt the same last season before we went to London to face QPR. You don't know how it will go. "That is because friendly games are very different. The first half is okay, but in the second half you get 15 changes across the two sides. "But in competitive games, like these two we are playing against Malmo, you don't get that. So it is very good for us."
