Manchester United vs Sunderland LIVE

Ruben Amorim faces a must-win match today as Manchester United host Sunderland in their final match before the October international break. The Red Devils boss is under more pressure than ever after a dismal start to the season has left the Red Devils languishing in 14th, some nine places adrift of today’s visitors. The high-flying Black Cats have hardly skipped a beat since being promoted to the top flight, and find themselves sitting fifth after six matches.

They edged past Ange Postecoglou’s floundering Nottingham Forest last time out, and would be more than happy to heap yet more misery on another struggling head coach as they visit Old Trafford. Amorim reportedly has the backing of Man United hierarchy despite the poor run, but there is every chance their minds could be changed by a defeat to Regis Le Bris’ men.

Speaking pre-match, Amorim was once again adamant that his beloved 3-4-2-1 system was not to blame for the side’s shortcomings, dismissing criticism from pundits. He will hope to back those claims up with a win this afternoon. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis.
