Andre Ayew backs under-pressure Swansea boss Garry Monk

Andre Ayew has labelled Garry Monk a “great manager” as the embattled Swansea boss continues to feel the heat following a disappointing 2-2 home draw with Bournemouth.

Monk has come under increasing pressure amid Swansea’s slide down the Barclays Premier League in the last two months and there were few signs of improvement as Bournemouth dominated for long periods at the Liberty Stadium.
