Manchester United vs Sunderland Preview and Team News
Manchester United Team News
There will be intense pressure on Ruben Amorim and his Manchester United side this Saturday as they return to Old Trafford. Reports indicating that Amorim’s future at the club could be in jeopardy continue to make the headlines, with fresh rumors this week linking Gareth Southgate to the role.
United’s stuttering start to the season continued last weekend when they suffered a 3-1 loss on the road against Brentford. It was the team’s third defeat of the season, meaning that they’ve already lost half of their Premier League matches in 2025-26.
The 3-4-2-1 system doesn’t appear to be working, with Cunha and Mbeumo both struggling to get into the game last weekend. Defensive changes are also likely to be made this Saturday after both Maguire and Shaw struggled against the pacey Brentford forward line last time out.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Sunderland (3-4-2-1): Lammens; de Ligt, Yoro, Heaven; Dalot, Mainoo, Fernandes, Dorgu; Cunha, Mbeumo; Sesko.
Sunderland Team News
Régis Le Bris must be delighted with the start to the season that his Sunderland side have enjoyed, and they could already be setting their sights higher than just avoiding the drop.
The Black Cats have won three of their opening six matches in 2025-26 and lost just once. Last weekend, their counterattacking 4-2-3-1 formation worked to perfection, as they recorded a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.
Despite having just 35% of the ball, Sunderland created the better scoring opportunities, with the pace of Le Fee, Talbi, and Isidor causing huge issues for the Forest defensive line. Alderete and Mukiele also look like a defensive partnership that has been playing alongside one another for a prolonged period of time.
Sunderland predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Roefs; Hume, Mukiele, Alderete, Masuaku; Xhaka, Sadiki; Talbi, Rigg, Le Fee; Isidor.
Manchester United vs Sunderland Prediction
- Pick: Sunderland -1.5
- Odds: -164 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Manchester United 1-1 Sunderland
This is a fascinating clash at Old Trafford. Manchester United offer no value at the odds available, and it would take a brave bettor to take the price considering their issues at both ends of the field.
Sunderland have already built their success on a strong defensive unit, allowing just 0.67 goals per game from an xGA of 1.46. The Red Devils don’t often look like creating chances, which could prove costly against such a well-drilled opponent.
A draw is an interesting Manchester United vs Sunderland prediction, but the safer bet could be the traveling side with the -1.5 spread.
Manchester United vs Sunderland Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 8.5 Corners
- Odds: +171 (20Bet)
Man United’s attacking issues have ensured that they rank low in terms of corners per game in the Premier League this season. The team have averaged just 4.50 per 90 minutes, with 67% of their fixtures having under 9.5 overall corners.
Sunderland also rank low in corners won due to their counterattacking style, averaging 4.00 per outing. Therefore, there could be value in under 8.5 corners being taken at Old Trafford on Saturday.
