"Ruben Amorim faces a must-win match today as Manchester United host Sunderland in their final match before the October international break. The Red Devils boss is under more pressure than ever after a dismal start to the season has left the Red Devils languishing in 14th, some nine places adrift of today's visitors. The high-flying Black Cats have hardly skipped a beat since being promoted to the top flight, and find themselves sitting fifth after six matches."
"They edged past Ange Postecoglou's floundering Nottingham Forest last time out, and would be more than happy to heap yet more misery on another struggling head coach as they visit Old Trafford. Amorim reportedly has the backing of Man United hierarchy despite the poor run, but there is every chance their minds could be changed by a defeat to Regis Le Bris' men."
Manchester United host Sunderland at Old Trafford in the final match before the October international break. Manchester United sit 14th after a poor start, increasing pressure on head coach Ruben Amorim. Sunderland occupy fifth place after six matches following promotion and remain in strong form. Sunderland recently edged Nottingham Forest and arrive seeking to deepen United’s difficulties. Amorim reportedly retains backing from the club hierarchy but a defeat could alter that support. Amorim defends his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation and dismisses pundit criticism. A victory is crucial for United to restore confidence and justify tactical choices.
