Sunderland were, by far, the better team and were kept at bay by Senne Lammens single-handedly at times.
Fringe stars like Mason Mount and Joshua Zirkzee disappointed while Amadâs downward spiral continued.
Michael Carrick made a couple of surprising calls, none more so than playing Mount alongside Kobbie Mainoo, while both Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte missed out.

As revealed by the caretaker head coach to MUTV, the Brazilianâs issue is not too serious, while the Uruguayan picked up a back injury during training.
âCase, heâll be fine for next week, itâs nothing major. Manu had a problem with his back in training, so thatâs the issues ironed out.â
With Carrick open to handing minutes to underutilised stars, this was the perfect opportunity for the 25-year-old to try and impress. But his injury comes at the worst possible time.
Whether the Uruguayanâs injury is a serious one remains to be seen. He has started only once under Carrick, the 1-2 defeat to Leeds.
The former Paris Saint-Germain ace has been one of the most disappointing signings in recent history, and INEOS are looking to offload him amid interest from Turkiye, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Should their valuation not be met, Manuel Ugarte could be kept on as fourth-choice midfielder, with the Red Devils expected to sign as many as three midfielders in the summer.
Another injury concern is that of Benjamin Sesko. He was subbed off at half-time against Liverpool and failed to make the trip to Sunderland despite rumours of him shaking off his knock.
On the Slovenian, Carrick said, âBenâs been carrying a shin problem for some time and he took quite a big bang on it, obviously had to come off last week. So, he wasnât ready today.â
Luke Shaw, who started the draw against the Black Cats, was also spotted limping heavily as he left the ground. This is more cause for concern for the head coach.
