Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 1'

Red Devils will be looking to their FWA Men's Footballer of the Year - Bruno Fernandes to deliver the goods tonight. Sunderland though want to put up a fight and end their season on a high.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 3'

Noah Sadiki should have buried that! The midfielder is one on one against the Man United keeper but Lammens comes good as he denies the Sunderland player.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 6'

Sunderland players are finding spaces in behind the Man United defence. The Red Devils may be the team in form but do not count out the Black Cats as they would look to repeat the antics of 2012 once again.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 10'

Casemiro's absence is rightly missed with Man United unable to put the pressure on the Black Cats. Ball strikes Amad's arm but VAR checks and waives it off.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 18'

How rare is it for United to have 0 shots on target with 20 minutes pass by. The Red Devils have yet to hit gear and look to lack the cutting-edge.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 22'

Man United need a real cutting edge with their forward line looking inept at the moment. Long ball played up top and Sunderland defenders dealing with it properly.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 29'

As things stand, Sunderland are 12th in the league table with United in the third position. Victory for the Red Devils could edge them closer to City but the latter play a game after this match.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 31'

A wet surface at the Stadium of Light that has seen players from both players fall. It's quite windy and raining heavily. However, it is Sunderland who have had all the chances and pegged United in their own half.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 38'

When the chips are down, it's Bruno who delivers for United. Today is probably the day for the Portuguese to deliver again.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 43'

The Sunderland corner comes to nothing and referee blows the whistle for half-time. All to play for in this game.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United

We're back in action at the Stadium of Light

United have come in this half with a positive start. They are playing on the front foot against Sunderland. Carrick might have made some tactical changes that has helped them.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 50'

Former Arsenal man, Granit Xhaka is making things tick for Sunderland. He makes things look simple, with no over the top passes. SAFC need him to come good if they are to gain all three points.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 56'

He has scored more goals from outside the area against them - three - than anyone else.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 60'

Senne Lammens has singlehandedly kept Manchester United level as he stops Brian Brobbey's effort from the middle of the box.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 63'

No shot on target for the Red Devils yet as SAFC hit the post. Brian Brobbey lays the ball off and Lutsharel Geertruida's low shot strikes the bar.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 70'

It will be the battle of nerves and stamina with the game heading towards the finish line now. Black Cats have been unlucky and wasteful in front of goal and if United nick this, they would be very aggrieved.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 78'

Both sets of players look tired with the conditions at hand. SAFC have had the best chances and United look out of sorts without that extra forward up top.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 84'

Matheus Cunha theatrically goes down in the SAFC penalty area but the ref gives it the other way and books the Brazilian.

Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United 90+3'

Man United collect their first 0-0 of the season. Spoils shared but Sunderland will be the frustrated one out of this, with the chances they have missed up top.
