Ahead of their Premier League clash this weekend, Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris has explained why Manchester United have continued to struggle.
Sunderland will be facing a tough test at Old Trafford as they take on Ruben Amorim’s struggling side.
The Red Devils have recorded just seven points from their opening six league games in the Premier League.
Sunderland, on the other hand, are flying on their return to the Premier League, sitting fifth in the table.
The Black Cats have only been defeated once so far this season, and fans are expecting another difficult outing for Manchester United.
But Le Bris has heaped praise on the struggling Red Devils.
“Being at Old Trafford demands a strong personality and strong character,” he told the press ahead of the game.
“I still believe that we’ll need to upgrade our performance to be competitive in Manchester.
“They are strong, create many chances from everywhere, direct play in behind, set pieces, with talented players. Now it’s just a question of click, confidence, circumstances, scenario.
“So for us the only thing we can control is our way of playing, the way we want to play this game, to face this challenge, being aware that it will be tough.”
