Manchester United vs Sunderland: Injuries and Where to Watch

There’s already a growing number of fans and pundits who believe the best move for the directors is to fire Amorim and bring in a replacement. While Manchester United historically avoids sacking coaches before they’ve had at least a season and a half, this situation could become a new case study for the Red Devils.

Sunderland, on the other hand, is playing to win. If they manage to pull off an upset at Old Trafford, they would climb to 13 points, surpass Crystal Palace for third place, and match Arsenal’s record so far.

Expected Starting Lineups

Manchester United

• Goalkeeper: A. Bayindir
• Defenders: L. Yoro, M. de Ligt, L. Shaw
• Midfielders: A. Diallo, Casemiro, B. Fernandes, P. Dorgu
• Wingers: B. Mbeumo, M. Cunha
• Forward: B. Sesko

The only player in the rotation who will miss the game is Noussair Mazraoui. Lisandro Martínez also won’t be available for Ruben Amorim, as he’s still recovering from the injury suffered last season. On the other hand, Amad Diallo could make his return in this match.

Sunderland

• Goalkeeper: R. Roefs
• Defenders: T. Hume, N. Makiele, O. Alderete, A. Masuaku
• Midfielders: G. Xhaka, C. Rigg, N. Sadiki
• Wingers: E. Lé Fée, C. Talbi
• Forward: W. Insidor

Sunderland has a long list of absentees. Habib Diarra, Leo Fuhr Hjelde, Romaine Mundle, and Dennis Cirkin are all out with injuries, while Reinildo Mandava is suspended. The only good news is that Ajubola-Joshua Alese is listed as doubtful for the match, giving him a chance to feature.
