Manchester United fans didn’t see this one coming.
Louis van Gaal’s side might be missing a few players with injuries, but few expected them to lose to 19th-placed Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Anthony Martial drew the visitors level after Wahbi Khazri’s early opener, but a late David De Gea own goal decided the tie.
And the Louis van Gaal out voices only got louder as the game went on.

United should be challenging for the title. It's dire under-performance.

the side. Mata poor second half, Lingard plain not good enough, Rooney back to bad habits from earlier in the season, Martial far less

11 points in 8 games against the current bottom 5 teams

This really is one of the most average United teams ever assembled in the modern era

85 mins: yeah but remember when we beat Stoke though.

Van Gaal’s substitutions were also met with scratches of the head.
Depay for Lingard has worked out well for LvG then this week.

So Herrera is still on the bench n Keane is brought in. I don't get it..are we even desperate to equalize? LVG doesn't think so #SUNMUN

Suddenly Sir Alex Ferguson looks a whole lot better.

All we need now is for West Ham to finish ahead of us, so Mourinho's United won't have a Europa League distraction.
