    Richard: That is the best tap in I've ever seen. 

    David Broome: Great finish - this boy will be world class, no doubt. All the Van Gaal haters will be eating their words at the final whistle

    "Vito Mannone does not put the ball to the side, he actually keeps it in play. It is the wrong thing to do. But what a composed and calm finish by Anthony Martial, a delicate little dink.

    "For Sunderland if you go that deep then you will give away chances."

    What a cool finish this is, to bring United level. A neat move down the left ends with Juan Mata's shot that Vito Mannone can only push away. Anthony Martial, who was involved in the build-up, reacts quickest to lift the ball into the net from the narrowest of angles.

    Love was on the bench, now Love is on the pitch. The aptly-named Donald Love is coming on for Darmian to make his senior United debut on Valentine's weekend - the 21-year-old is involved with the first team for the first time today.

    Another full-back injury for United? Yes. Matteo Darmian has hurt his shoulder and cannot continue - he collided with Wahbi Khazri by the right-hand corner.

    Another wobble by Vito Mannone as he flaps at Cameron Borthwick-Jackson's cross, but the ball bounces favourably for Sunderland and they clear their lines.

    Hmmm. The narrative on Twitter does actually seem to be to have a go at Louis van Gaal.

    "They are 1-0 down and normally the narrative would be to have a go at Louis van Gaal but Manchester United are not playing badly, they are zipping passes around and getting in behind Sunderland."

    Ryan King: RE: Adam MacPherson, Ranieri wouldn't want to drop down a level by moving to Old Trafford.

    Varun Sharma: No desire, no passion and no speed this the real LVG Army we know. Absolutely toothless. They'll loose this game.

    Mnutd64: Van Nistelrooy or Rooney. Ronaldo or Lingard. Scholes or Mata. Rio or Blind. Nuff said. Need to reboot.

    Sunderland 1-0 Man Utd

    A sniff for United when Vito Mannone makes a hash of a cross but John O'Shea is there to head behind. United have had three corners and, after 30 minutes, they also now have their first shot - Juan Mata lets fly from outside the area, but his effort is straight at Mannone.

    Sunderland continue to come forward whenever they get the ball. Lee Cattermole fires a daisy-cutter wide from distance before, moments, later the Black Cats break and Wahbi Khazri cuts in from the left to blaze high and wide.

    Greg Williams: Don't think you'll find good odds of a Sunderland clean sheet today, Sam would rightly be grinning on MOTD if they do.

    Dan Bell: Utd can kiss goodbye top 4. Can't see them breaking down a stubborn 5 man defence.

    A penalty appeal for Sunderland when Wahbi Khazri blasts the ball at Morgan Schneiderlin. Replays show it did hit his hand but referee Andre Marriner allows play to continue.

    Yann M'Vila has dropped back to take over as Sunderland's deepest midfielder since Jan Kirchhoff went off injured. Substitute Jack Rodwell and Lee Cattermole are working hard in front of him. The reshuffle is working pretty well at the moment.

    Still no end product for United, who are working the ball nicely around the edge of the Sunderland area but just cannot find a telling final ball at the moment. 

    A promising passing move by the visitors just broke down when Juan Mata strayed offside.

    Sunderland are still looking more dangerous when they work the ball forward, and they are also working hard to put United's players under pressure when they don't have possession.

    Speaking of shots, Sunderland have just had another one... when a throw-in dropped for Patrick van Aanholt on the edge of the area. He had to rush his strike with defenders closing in, and screwed it well off target.

    "Sunderland have a line of five defenders along the 18 yard line, a few moments before that it was seven players and  that is too deep.

    " It is easy for them to sit back but if they keep on doing that I am convinced United will create more chances, they have already put dangerous balls in."
