9 May
Summary
- Fernandes created 5+ chances in 14 games in 2025-26.
- Sesko averages a goal every 85 minutes under Carrick.
- Sunderland hasn't beaten top-four teams in 28 league games.
Manchester United is demonstrating strong form in the 2025-26 Premier League, particularly since Michael Carrick took charge in January. The team has secured 32 points, more than any other club in that period. Benjamin Sesko has been a standout performer, averaging a goal every 85 minutes.
Bruno Fernandes has been instrumental in United's attacking threat, creating five or more chances in 14 different games in 2025-26, a feat not seen since Mesut Özil in 2015-16. His 120 chances created this season is a record for a United player since 2003-04.
Conversely, Sunderland continues to face significant challenges against top teams. They have not won any of their last 28 Premier League matches against sides starting the day in the top four, a streak dating back to April 2014. Their historical record against Manchester United is also poor, with only three wins in 33 encounters.
