Manchester United have named an unchanged side for their away trip to Sam Allardyce’s Sunderland, who have sacked star winger Adam Johnson due to the sexual assault charges against him.
The Red Devils have started to perform well, and manager Louis van Gaal would expect nothing short of another good game from his players. Here is the confirmed lineup for the match.

Allardyce’s team did well in the last match to come back from 2-0 down to earn a 2-2 draw in the last few minutes at Liverpool, but the 61-year-old has made a couple of changes to his side. DeAndre Roselle Yedlin comes in for Billy Jones at right back, and Dame N’Doye comes in for Duncan Watmore on the right flank. Here is their confirmed team sheet.
