Manchester United were far from their best as they were held to a goalless stalemate against Sunderland.

After the high of beating Liverpool 3-2 and qualifying for the Champions League last week, a 0-0 draw to Sunderland was a sobering experience for Manchester United.

Matheus Cunha came closest to scoring for the Red Devils, but the Brazilian playmaker wasted a big opportunity in the final minutes.

Michael Carrick made several changes to his starting line-up, giving chances to fringe players like Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount. Many United players failed to impress, but fans unanimously voted for one star as their Man of the Match.
