A couple of goals and the picture looks a lot more rosey.

ManUtd look great in terms of modern continental style football. The english style is dead, it hasn't won anything for years. #bbcfootball

Billy Jones hacks Memphis Depay down. Sunderland look shot.

What must Dick Advocaat be thinking? Two goals conceded in two minutes either side of the break. Wayne Rooney ends his longest ever Premier League goal drought and is now joint-third with Denis Law as United's all-time leading league scorers with 171 goals.

GOAL - Man Utd 2-0 Sunderland

Wayne Rooney

Calamity for Sunderland as Anthony Martial bursts into the box and cuts back for Wayne Rooney, who bundles the ball over the line. That's his first in 12 games, most welcome for the United striker

KICK-OFF

Man Utd 1-0 Sunderland

Sunderland make a change and Steven Fletcher is on for Adam Johnson. We are under way.

Top of the league, as it stands

Man Utd 1-0 Sunderland

Whatever you think of the performance at Old Trafford today, this must make quite nice viewing for Manchester United fans. Manchester City were beaten 4-1 by Tottenham earlier today.

Jon: If Sunderland are the worst side in the league, then United are the second worst on this showing! Really poor #MUFC GOAL!
Raymond: Get in there. Memphis finally gets his goal.
Have your say using #bbcfootball now.

HALF-TIME

Man Utd 1-0 Sunderland

Posted at 15:57

If Sunderland are going to find a way back into this game, they need to find a way of getting near the United area. They have been penned back in their own half for most of the first 45 minutes and only managed 15 touches in the final third of the field (see graphic on the right). United, who have spent most of the game camped outside the Sunderland box, have made significantly more (see graphic on the left).

That goal also takes Manchester United to the top of the Premier League as it stands.

Kane... Memphis have scored their 1st prem. goals for the season. Anyone fancy Rooney to break the hoodoo with his display? #bbcfootball

HALF-TIME

Man Utd 1-0 Sunderland

That's 11 of Sunderland's 14 Premier League goals conceded before the break. Memphis Depay now has four goals this season.

Well, that was perhaps a little harsh on Sunderland, who defended well for the most part but cannot prevent their poor first-half record continuing.

GOAL - Memphis Depay

Man Utd 1-0 Sunderland

Posted at 45+4 mins

That will wake them up! Daley Blind pings a deep cross-field pass to Juan Mata, who squares it along the six-yard line for Memphis Depay to easily tuck in. That's his first in the Premier League this season.

It is very quiet inside Old Trafford. The home fans have not had much to cheer.

A rare Sunderland attack as Jeremain Lens drives towards the United box. He lays-off to Adam Johnson, whose shot is blocked by Chris Smalling.

Four minutes of added time.

Cattermole keeping United at bay

Man Utd 0-0 Sunderland

Posted at 45 mins

Sunderland's Lee Cattermole blocks a Wayne Rooney shot and has been a big reason why United can find no way through. No Sunderland player has won the ball back more than him this afternoon, with Cattermole making three tackles (green triangles), three interceptions (blue) and winning possession on six other occasions (yellow).

When Manchester United attack, they are doing so without pace and Sunderland are finding it easy to get numbers back in defence.

Trench-like defence by Sunderland, as this average position graphic shows. The Black Cats are the right graphic, by the way.

Anthony Martial is in behind the Sunderland defence on the left side and wins a corner. Again it is cleared.

Memphis Depay's free-kick is tame and clips the wall on its way over. Easy for Costel Pantilimon. Not been a great game so far.
