"So relief may well have been the overriding emotion felt by the Portuguese head coach when his side took an early lead courtesy of Mount's first league goal for United at Old Trafford. Less than 10 minutes had elapsed when the midfielder was picked out by Bryan Mbeumo; the England international requiring a touch to control before beating Robin Roefs with an effort from just inside the box that nestled into the corner."
"But the hosts would not be denied for long. On the half-hour mark, Diogo Dalot's throw was flicked into the path of Sesko by a Sunderland player, allowing the Slovenian to poke the ball home from six yards out. Sunderland then had a penalty shout overturned by VAR as United went into the break with their two-goal advantage intact. In the second-half, Le Bris threw caution to the wind, ringing the changes with a triple substitution shortly after the restart."
Manchester United took an early lead when Mason Mount scored his first league goal at Old Trafford following a Bryan Mbeumo assist. Sunderland goalkeeper Robin Roefs produced a sublime stop to palm Bruno Fernandes' strike onto the bar, but United extended their lead when Diogo Dalot's throw was flicked into Ivan Sesko's path for a six-yard finish. Sunderland had a penalty appeal overturned by VAR. Le Bris introduced three second-half substitutions, but Matheus Cunha and Chemsdine Talbi missed late opportunities. United held on for three points and kept a first clean sheet, with Senne Lammens making his debut.
