United 2-0 Sunderland Eases Amorim Pressure

Manchester United beat Sunderland 2-0 at Old Trafford, with Mason Mount opening the scoring and Benjamin Sesko adding a second — his first goal at Old Trafford. Debutant goalkeeper Senne Lammens kept a clean sheet and a penalty initially awarded to Sunderland was overturned by VAR. The win, United’s third consecutive home league victory, eased pressure on manager Ruben Amorim after a poor start to the season and lifted them to eighth in the Premier League, one point behind Sunderland. Old Trafford observed a pre-match silence for victims of a Manchester synagogue terror attack. Despite the temporary relief, questions remain among some fans and board members about Amorim’s tactics and longer-term future.
