#922 |  Ed and Dan dissect Manchester United’s 2–0 win over Sunderland - a performance that offered relief, if not revelation. There’s praise for Senne Lemmens’ clean sheet, but the discussion quickly turns to Amorim’s tactical rigidity, and the sustainability of the long-ball plan. Amad Diallo’s case for more minutes grows louder, there’s competition for a place between Mason Mount and Matteus Cunha.
