Team News
Man Utd
Sunderland
- Chris Smalling returned to first-team action after nearly two months out with a toe injury in the dying embers of Manchester United's 2-0 win away to West Brom on Saturday. With Eric Bailly also expected to return to the team on Boxing Day, Jose Mourinho now has plenty of options at the heart of his defence.
- Henrikh Mkhitaryan has missed United's last two matches with an ankle injury but is expected to return for the reception of Sunderland on Monday. Luke Shaw, the last of Mourinho's injury concerns, remains sidelined.
- Wayne Rooney has started in each of United's last two matches after a time on the bench and may keep his place in the team on Boxing Day with Anthony Martial still out in the cold.
- Adnan Januzaj is ineligible to play against his parent club on Boxing Day due to the terms in his loan agreement.
- Billy Jones missed Sunderland's 1-0 win over Watford with a hip injury and the right-back remains a doubt here. With Javier Manquillo also a doubt, Donald Love may feature against his boyhood club. Steven Pienaar is also a question mark ahead of Monday's fixture.
- David Moyes is still without Paddy McNair, Lee Cattermole, Lynden Gooch, Jack Rodwell, Jan Kirchhoff and Duncan Watmore here. Kirchoff is out for a further 12 weeks after undergoing knee surgery.
Why exactly is Pogba motm again?
@neumi17 means he's best midfielder in the world!
@neumi17 They changed to Ibra now lol
@neumi17 football isn't just about goals. His overall bossing of the game was obvious if you actually watched it
@neumi17 He gets +0.8 on all of his ratings, it seems. Whoscored are desperate for him to succeed.
Can't wait for Manure to play a good team.
Well he just needed some time. Looks like Jose is back on track.
@ernold well even Ibrahimovich is on the verge of being the top scorer of the Premier League :D
@libehv yep he is dude, he's right up there!!
what goals from mikhtaryan and borini !!
@Benatia both were fantastic, too bad that Mkhitaryan was offside, but that won't spoil the skill - the class is permanent
there is no way black cats beating Man U here
UNITED 3-0!
@RedBlackWhite Ah no, wait. It was 3-1, sorry Mkhi's goal left me in awe.
@RedBlackWhite Grats!
double for Zlatan and 3-1 for MU.
@AndreyNosatii very close to being correct
@JTD_98 double of assits for Zlatan, that's correct :))
sunderland need point so 2x
Simple 2-0 win for United here
Mourinho style of 1-0 here or 2-1.
9-0
*(Not draw) at last 10/10 Sunderland matches in Premier League. (Manchester United Not lost ) at the last 6/6 matches in Premier League. (Total goals Under 2,5) at the last 5/5 Manchester United home matches. (Sunderland not scored and lost) at the last 6/5 away matches. As a result 1-0 or 2-0
1-1
5 or 6 if there is an early goal.
MU wins.
This is you're chance united......I would love it to be 4-0, but honestly I think it will be 2-0......I will easily score! Btw everyone, this is Zlatan saying this... :)
@ball Even Zlatan is better at English than you, nob.
You can do it Zlatan! You're our man......I think Henrik will score if he plays
Come on united!
1-0
@Mute haha.....too right mate, it will b a bigger score than that I reckon
Man United 2 - 0 Sunderland
Honestly, I feel like this will be a route for Man U, the only way it won't be is if the entire United starting XI decides to get hammered on Christmas. Sadly, I think it'll be a 4-1 win for Man U.
I feel loads of goals... 4-1 United.. Zlatan two goals.. pogba one.. and if Mickitaryan can play he will score...!!!
@manutd66 haha....thanks for saying I will score 2 goals dude
@ball shut up... u aint Zlatan..
