Team news and match preview

Manchester United currently sits 14th in the Premier League after a shaky start to the season under manager Ruben Amorim. The Red Devils have faced setbacks in their first six league matches, notably a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Brentford last weekend following a morale-boosting victory over Chelsea.

This succession of mixed results has increased pressure on Amorim, who has yet to secure consecutive league wins since taking charge during last season's international break.

Any slip-up could further jeopardize Amorim's position at the club.

Diogo Dalot (Muscle injury), Lisandro Martínez (Cruciate ligament injury) will not be available for this fixture due to injuries.

Sunderland, who returned to the Premier League this season, has become one of the league's surprise packages. Sitting comfortably in 6th place, the Black Cats have demonstrated resilience, defensive solidity, and effective attacking play under the leadership of manager Regis Le Bris.

They are unbeaten in their last four league matches, including a notable 1-0 away victory against Nottingham Forest, which was their first away win of the season.

Sunderland’s rare visit to Old Trafford for the first time since 2016 is an exciting test for the club and a chance to prove their credentials further by challenging the traditional heavyweight.

Romaine Mundle (Hamstring injury) is sidelined for the match.
