Ruben Amorim could face the sack should Manchester United fail to beat Sunderland on Saturday afternoon. Reports have emerged suggesting INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe is keen to stick by the former Sporting boss, but his stance could change should results not improve immediately. The Red Devils remain favoured against the recently promoted Black Cats, meaning another loss would seriously ramp up the pressure.

Ruben Amorim said he could feel that his Manchester United players do not want him to get sacked after they beat Sunderland 2-0 to ease the pressure on the coach. Goals from Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko gave United a third win of the season and soothed the pain of last week's defeat at Brentford, which led to high profile figures such as Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney fiercely criticising Amorim.

Benjamin Sesko shared his delight in scoring his first goal at Old Trafford in Manchester United's 2-0 win over Sunderland. The Slovenian striker did not get too caught up in the moment however, as he channelled his inner-Roy Keane in saying it's "his job" to score goals and that the Red Devils fans have yet to see the best of him despite finding the target on two occasions in his last two games.

Manchester United are pulling out all the stops to keep hold of their highly-rated youngster JJ Gabriel, and have taken the remarkable decision to offer the starlet a box at the new Old Trafford Stadium, which is due to be completed in 2030. Gabriel has been courted by a host of Europe's top clubs, but United have convinced the 14-year-old to remain in Manchester thus far.

Wayne Rooney has continued his back and forth with under-fire Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, pointing out that the Portuguese should “expect to be criticised” given how desperate the situation has become at Old Trafford. Amorim continues to see his future called into question after just 50 games in charge of the Red Devils, with positive results proving hard to come by.
