Manchester United News & Analysis

Manchester United hosts Sunderland after a heavy 1-3 defeat against Brentford last weekend. Benjamin Sesko managed to score his first goal for the Red Devils, but in general United got outplayed by the hosts. Now Ruben Amorim has to find a solution – how to fix what’s happening and make the team start winning.

Surely Amorim won’t change his formation despite the pressure, but some of the players could be replaced. This could be a good time to see Kobbie Mainoo back in the line-up while Mason Mount and Leroy Yoro could return as well – both of them started on the bench against Brentford.

The good news is the return of Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian international started against Brentford after recovering from his latest injury. Cunha shall be a crucial player for United and he can make the difference.

Last weekend Regis Le Bris’ boys faced Nottingham Forest away from home, and secured a 1-0 win at the City Ground. Granit Xhaka assisted to Omar Aldarete who scored his first Premier League goal.

Granit Xhaka is the player to watch in Sunderland’s squad. The Swiss international is playing incredibly well since his return to England. He will be crucial for Sunderland this season.
