Man United Win Third Consecutive Home Game, Easing Amorim Pressure

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim celebrated his 50th game in charge with a pivotal 2-0 victory over newly promoted Sunderland at Old Trafford, easing pressure amid scrutiny over his future. Mason Mount scored an early opener, the earliest Premier League goal for United since Amorim's debut season, and Benjamin Šeško added a second goal, securing the win and United's first clean sheet of the campaign, aided by debutant goalkeeper Senne Lammens. A Sunderland penalty was overturned by VAR, maintaining United's control throughout the match. This win marked United's third consecutive home victory for the first time in over two years and extended their dominant home record against Sunderland, having lost only once in 31 meetings. The victory also made Amorim the first United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson to reach 50 wins, prompting fans to serenade him with a tribute chant. Although this result doesn't quell all doubts about his tenure, it provides a much-needed boost and foundation for the team moving forward.
