Overview

• Manchester United beat Sunderland 2-0 at Old Trafford through first-half goals from Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko for a third straight home win and their first clean sheet of the season.
• Debutant goalkeeper Senne Lammens made key saves and impressed, with Ruben Amorim explaining he delayed the start for adaptation reasons and declining to confirm a new permanent No 1.
• A penalty initially awarded against Sesko for a high boot was overturned after a VAR review before half-time.
• Amorim's changes—recalling Mount, reinstating Leny Yoro, and leveraging Diogo Dalot's long throw that led to Sesko's goal—were widely credited with improving United's balance and threat.
• Mount said the squad is "100% behind" the manager, while Amorim urged sustained performance away from home with a trip to Liverpool after the international break.
