Match Facts
Manchester United have lost just two of their last 30 league games against Sunderland (W22 D6), with this their first since a 3-0 win in April 2017.
Across all competitions, Sunderland have managed to win just one of their last 31 away games against Manchester United (D9 L21), winning 1-0 in May 2014 thanks to Sebastian Larsson’s winner.
Manchester United have won their last two home Premier League matches, as many as in their previous nine combined at Old Trafford (D2 L5). The Red Devils are looking for three consecutive home wins for the first time since winning eight in a row between April and August 2023.
Sunderland have won just one out of 29 away Premier League matches against the Manchester clubs (D4 L24), a points-per-game of just 0.24 which is the worst of any side to play more than 15 away games against United and City.
Man Utd are unbeaten in their last 24 Premier League games against newly promoted sides (W21 D3) since losing 4-1 to Watford in November 2021. The Hornets were also the last promoted side to stop United scoring, in a 0-0 draw in February 2022.
Sunderland have 11 points in six Premier League matches this season (W3 D2 L1), the best start by a newly promoted side since West Ham United in 2012-13 (also 11). They need just one point to equal Southampton’s total from the entirety of last season in 38 games (12).
This will be Ruben Amorim’s 50th game in charge of Man Utd in all competitions – none of the last five managers to hit 50 games have won their 50th (D3 L2 – Moyes, van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjaer, ten Hag), with Alex Ferguson the last to win his 50th match back in November 1987 away at Bury.
Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes has made the most line-breaking passes leading to a shot in the Premier League this season (9). He also has five goals and six assists in his last nine matches against newly promoted opponents.
Each of Sunderland’s last three Premier League goals has been assisted by Granit Xhaka, with Xhaka also assisting the last time he faced Man Utd in January 2023 for Arsenal. The only Black Cats player to assist four goals in a row was Chris Waddle in March/April 1997.
Against Brentford last weekend, Man Utd’s Benjamin Sesko became the third Slovenian to score in the Premier League, after Robert Koren and Jon Gorenc Stankovic. Sesko hasn’t scored in consecutive league appearances since December/January last season with RB Leipzig (5 in a row).
