Mount and Sesko Score as Manchester United Beat Sunderland to Ease Pressure on Amorim

A rare clean sheet from a rotated XI gives Ruben Amorim brief respite from intense scrutiny.

Overview

  • First-half strikes from Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko sealed a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford.
  • Senne Lammens made his Manchester United debut in goal and kept a clean sheet after Altay Bayindir was dropped.
  • The result delivered United’s third Premier League win and their first clean sheet of the season.
  • Amorim persisted with his 3-4-3 system that he has publicly defended, but he overhauled personnel with five changes including leaving Harry Maguire out of the starting lineup.
  • A penalty awarded against United in first-half stoppage time was overturned, and Sesko’s finish was his second goal in as many games as United head into an international break before visiting Liverpool.
