After 6 rounds, MU still showed instability when only winning 7 points. Many players in the MU squad played inconsistently, continuously making mistakes, causing the "Red Devils" to lose points in an inexplicable way. Therefore, when meeting Sunderland in round 7, coach Ruben Amorim made many changes in tactics. Instead of using the familiar 3-4-3 formation, the Portuguese coach switched to a 3-5-2 formation. Players with disappointing performances such as Patrick Dorgu and Manuel Ugarte were pushed to the bench. Notably, in goal, the main goalkeeper of the first 6 rounds, Altay Bayındır, also gave up his position to rookie Senne Lammens.

These adjustments helped MU play effectively and dominate Sunderland in the first half. The Old Trafford team had nearly 60% possession and shot 12 times - 3 times more than their opponents. In the 8th minute, Mason Mount had a gentle shot, opening the score. In the 31st minute, Benjamin Šeško scored, helping MU lead 2-0.
While the attack played brilliantly, Senne Lammens also did his job well in defense. The new goalkeeper of MU was trusted and immediately proved his ability with many accurate passes. In the final minutes of the first half, Senne Lammens also had excellent reflexes, helping MU keep the net safe.

After an easy first half, MU continued to show dominance in the second half. Coach Ruben Amorim's team completely controlled the midfield, confidently passing the ball to open up dangerous attacks. In terms of scoring opportunities, MU also had a better score than their opponent Sunderland: 8 compared to 4. Unfortunately, players like Benjamin Šeško and Cunha's inaccurate shots could not score any more goals against Sunderland.
With an easy 2-0 win over Sunderland, MU has 10 points after 7 matches. Since the beginning of the tournament, this is the 3rd time coach Ruben Amorim and his team have won 3 points. The Old Trafford team has risen to 8th place and is only 2 points behind the Champions League position.
