As he prepares to take charge of his 50th game as Manchester United boss, Ruben Amorim might well be in the last chance saloon as his side host Sunderland at Old Trafford.
Match News and Current Form
None of the previous five permanent United managers have won their 50th game in charge, and if Amorim follows that trend it could be fatal for his miserable tenure. Another dreadful performance in a 3-1 defeat at Brentford last weekend left the Red Devils languishing in the bottom half and still without back-to-back league wins under the Portuguese boss. In fact, only four managers in Premier League history have accrued fewer than his 34 points when appointed to an existing side in the division! He can take some heart from the fact that United have won successive home league matches, but they’ve not managed three in a row in over two years.
There’ll be no easy pickings to be found when Sunderland journey west, as their 11-point haul at this stage represents the best start to a Premier League campaign by a promoted team since West Ham in 2012/13. Regis Le Bris’ side opened their away account with a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest last week that lifted them into the top five heading into the latest round of fixtures, while also stretching their unbeaten run to four matches (W2, D2) - the Black Cats last went five without defeat in this competition in May 2016.
Head-to-Head History
This will be the first H2H between the sides since April 2017, with United losing just two of the last 30 league meetings (W22, D6). Manchester has been a grim destination for Sunderland, who’ve won just one of their last 29 trips to face either United or City in the Premier League (D4, L24).

Key Players to Watch and Missing Players
Benjamin Šeško opened his United account last week with the third of his last four club strikes to arrive before half-time - his last five scoring appearances at club level have returned just one win (D2, L2). Sunderland stopper Robin Roefs stands in his way here having made six saves in each of his last two away matches, keeping a clean sheet in both games.
