How to watch Manchester United vs Sunderland online in the US – TV channels & live streams
The Red Devils have stumbled out of the blocks yet again, showing little sign of shaking off last season’s malaise. Three defeats in their first six matches tell the story, with their only victories coming against basement-dwellers Burnley and a Chelsea side that played nearly the entire match with ten men. The bigger concern? United’s leaky back line, which has already shipped 11 goals, is a glaring weakness that’s becoming impossible to ignore.
For Ruben Amorim, this clash feels like a must-win, but it won’t be straightforward. Sunderland, fresh from promotion, have been one of the early surprise packages of the campaign. Written off by many before a ball was kicked, the Black Cats have defied expectations, sitting pretty in fifth place after six matches. They’ve tasted defeat just once, strung together four unbeaten on the bounce, and edged past Nottingham Forest 1-0 last time out.
