Swansea City defender Neil Taylor has revealed his delight after returning to action for his first start since September in his side's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United.

The Welshman had been on the sidelines for eight months after breaking his leg in the Swans clash with Sunderland in September but came through the game at Old Trafford unscathed.

He told the club's official website: "It went great for me out there. I felt really good during and after the game. I'm glad to have got the opportunity to play from the start - it caps off all the hard work that has gone into my comeback.

"To have played for 67 minutes is a real bonus. I knew I wouldn't play all the game, but to have featured for that long is very pleasing. Obviously the result was disappointing. We are frustrated not to have taken anything from the game."

Swansea are ninth in the Premier League following the defeat at Old Trafford.
