Overview

• Manchester United beat Sunderland 2-0 at Old Trafford, with first‑half goals from Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko lifting the side into the top half of the table.
• Deadline‑day signing Senne Lammens made decisive saves on debut to secure United’s first clean sheet of the season and calm a back line short on confidence.
• Ruben Amorim said the choice to start Lammens over Altay Bayindir was rotation, as pundits urged continuity and Gary Neville cautioned the manager is “not off the hook.”
• United are expected to evaluate experienced goalkeeper options in January, with reports again linking Emiliano Martínez as a potential target.
• Sesko has scored in consecutive matches and told club media there is more to come, while loanee Rasmus Hojlund publicly congratulated him on social media.
