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.
1Patrick van Aanholt
One of the players that United have to take a closer look of is certainly Patrick van Aanholt. The former Chelsea player is in excellent form this year, and he drew attention to himself after regularly helped in attacking third. The left back likes to burst in attack and he should be thoroughly monitored by United’s defence. Matteo Darmian will have work to do.
While Man United has plenty of players can cause problems to Sunderland, these five Black Cats will surely test De Gea at some point on Saturday.
