Manchester United defeated Sunderland in the Premier League to ease the pressure on Ruben Amorim as striker Benjamin Sesko scored for the second game in a row and survived giving away a penalty at the other end.
Defeat at Brentford last weekend had increased the spotlight on the United head coach before facing the newly promoted visitors, as rumours swirled around Amorim’s future and the Portuguese gave an impassioned defence of his position on Friday.
