Man United are travelling to the Stadium of Light with six points behind the fourth-placed Man City and with 13 games left. This game is crucial for Louis van Gaal’s team in their Champions League pursuit. On the other hand, Sunderland is fighting for relegation, and they cannot afford to lose any more games at home. United are the favourites in this match, but they still have to pay attention to some threats that Sunderland can pose to them.
3Yann M’Vila
Yann M’Vila is the best midfielder that Sunderland got at the moment, and he will be a creator of every attack. The Frenchman will have to cope with United’s two central midfielders, most likely Carrick and Schneiderlin. M’Vila is an all-around player, and he will be there to create chances for his team, as well to stop opponent attacks. Van Gaal will have to take a good care of him.
