Manchester United vs Sunderland – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Manchester United return to Old Trafford on Saturday, desperate for a victory to halt a stuttering start to their season.

A 3-1 defeat at Brentford last weekend left the Red Devils in 14th place. This has put manager Ruben Amorim under increasing scrutiny ahead of his 50th game in charge.

This fixture provides a perfect opportunity to bounce back. United have a formidable home record against Sunderland and are unbeaten in their last 24 Premier League games against newly-promoted opposition. Therefore, a convincing performance is needed to restore confidence at the club ahead of the international break.

Ruben Amorim has been handed a crucial boost with the return of Casemiro from suspension, and the Brazilian is expected to go straight back into the engine room. Winger Amad is also available again after being absent last weekend.

While the defence is still missing Lisandro Martínez and Noussair Mazraoui, there was positive news as Tyrell Malacia returned to first-team training this week for the first time since January. Benjamin Šeško, who scored his first goal for the club against Brentford, will look to build on that performance.
