October 04, (THEWILL) — Manchester United eased the mounting pressure on manager Ruben Amorim with a convincing 2–0 victory over Sunderland at Old Trafford on Saturday. There was a moment of controversy in first-half stoppage time when referee Stuart Attwell awarded Sunderland a penalty for a raised boot by Šeško on Trai Hume. Mbeumo squandered the clearest chance of the second half, firing over the bar after carving out space inside the penalty area. The visitors offered little in response, unable to mount any sustained pressure on the hosts’ defence. The result provided Amorim with temporary relief ahead of the international break, offering the manager valuable breathing space during a difficult period.
