Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has even more pressure mounting heading into Saturday's clash with Sunderland at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils were beaten 3-1 by the Bees last weekend and were poor again for large parts of the contest, with many left to ponder how long the 40-year-old has at the helm.

Sunderland will pose a tricky test at the Theatre of Dreams in this 3pm kick-off and Regis Le Bris' side will want to cause a famous upset as they pit themselves against one of the big six.

Man Utd vs Sunderland: Premier League preview

Many are continuing to wonder just what Amorim is doing at Carrington in terms of coaching his Manchester United players, with his squad again failing to deliver when it comes to their complex three-at-the-back shape.

The Red Devils often look lost, but stats from OPTA this week suggest United are underperforming in a number of metrics, which includes their output in front of goal.

Matheus Cunha is yet to score for his new club in the Premier League and former Chelsea man Mason Mount again is dividing opinion regarding his inclusion, especially with England star Kobbie Mainoo sat on the bench.

Sunderland remain as the Premier League's surprise package this season and many are shocked as to how well the Black Cats are coping back in England's top tier.

A win at Old Trafford on Saturday would surely go down in their history books as one of their best under Le Bris, and we wouldn't put it past them to compound Amorim's misery.

Sunderland are brimming with confidence, having spent big across the summer, but if that financial output results in Premier League safety come May, chances are many will see it as money well spent.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Man Utd 2-1 Sunderland

It really is make or break for Amorim and his squad this weekend, and this game could have a huge bearing on his future at Old Trafford. We feel it could be scrappy, but we at FourFourTwo are backing the Red Devils to narrowly come out on top.
