As of October 4th, 2025, newly-promoted Sunderland finds itself in a surprising 6th place in the Premier League standings, having won 3 games and drawn 2 in its first 6 fixtures. This dream start has put the Black Cats in a strong position early in the season.

Ahead of the clash with Sunderland, United manager Ruben Amorim has defended his tactical approach, insisting that his much-criticized 3-4-2-1 system is not to blame for the team's underwhelming performances.
