Amorim wins in Premier League, ex-Sporting man survives at Man United | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim's team, formerly of Sporting, temporarily rises to eighth place in the standings, with ten points after a victory against Man United - Sunderland.

Manchester United, led by Ruben Amorim, returned to Old Trafford and also returned to winning ways this Saturday afternoon, October 4th, by defeating Sunderland 2-0, in the seventh round of the Premier League. The former Sporting coach has been under immense pressure lately. A possible defeat could have led to his dismissal.

With Bruno Fernandes in the starting lineup, Man United took the lead with a goal from Mason Mount in the eighth minute. Bryan Mbeumo crossed from the right side, and the English international, in the area, after controlling with his left foot, finished with his right foot, beating goalkeeper Robin Roefs.

With the score at 1-0, Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes came close to a stunning goal, but his well-placed right-footed shot was deflected by Roefs onto the post in the 25th minute. The 2-0 came from Benjamin Sesko. Diogo Dalot, on the right, made a throw-in into the area, Nordi Mukiele attempted a header clearance in a duel with Casemiro, and the ball fell into the space behind him, where the Slovenian finished with his right foot.

Just before halftime, a possible penalty for Sunderland was reviewed, due to a foul by Benjamin Sesko on Trai Hume, but with the help of VAR, referee Stuart Attwell overturned the initial decision. In the second half, the score remained unchanged, and United secured their third victory in the Premier League in seven rounds.

This is also the first round in which Manchester United did not concede any goals. The Old Trafford team temporarily rises to eighth place in the standings, with ten points. Sunderland remains with 11 points, temporarily in sixth place.
