Manchester United lit up Old Trafford with a confident 2-0 victory over Sunderland, marking their third successive Premier League (PL) home win — a feat not achieved in over two years. Under the dynamic guidance of Ruben Amorim, United displayed intensity, creativity, and composure, thrilling fans and reaffirming their push toward the top of the table.
Mount Opens His Old Trafford Account
The evening belonged to Mason Mount, who scored his first Premier League goal for Manchester United at Old Trafford. Found by Bryan Mbeumo, Mount struck a precise low shot into the bottom corner just eight minutes into the game. The goal electrified the stadium, setting the tone for a dominant first half. Despite Robin Roefs’s heroics in goal — producing six crucial saves — Sunderland simply couldn’t withstand United’s attacking waves.
Šeško Doubles the Lead as United Dominate
United’s second came through Benjamin Šeško, who volleyed home from close range after Diogo Dalot’s long throw caused chaos in the box. It was Šeško’s second goal in as many matches — proof of the young striker’s growing confidence and chemistry with Amorim’s system.
Meanwhile, Sunderland struggled to gain a foothold. Manager Regis Le Bris brought in Dan Ballard before halftime to stabilize the defense, and though they briefly threatened through Granit Xhaka and Ballard himself, United remained largely untroubled.
Lammens’ Calm Debut and Defensive Solidity
In goal, Senne Lammens made his long-awaited debut for United. The Belgian had a quiet outing for most of the game but impressed late on with brilliant saves from Chemsdine Talbi and Eliezer Mayenda. His confident presence between the posts suggests United’s depth in goalkeeping remains in good hands.
Amorim’s 50th Win and United’s Momentum
With this result, Ruben Amorim becomes the first Manchester United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson to reach 50 wins in charge — a milestone that speaks volumes about his tactical vision and leadership. The Red Devils also extended their unbeaten run against promoted sides to 25 Premier League matches, underlining their consistency against newly arrived opposition.
Sunderland, meanwhile, remain just above United in the standings but saw their dismal Manchester record continue — now one win in 30 visits against Manchester clubs.
