Sunderland attack for the first time in the game and Enzo le Fee finds Brian Brobbey on the edge of the box.

The striker has time to take a shot and squeeze a shot past the two closing defenders. It takes a deflection and James Trafford does well to get down and push the bobbling ball around the post.

The corner comes to nothing.

The wind probably could play a part [in the game] and in all honesty, it's probably the worst condition you can play in. It's so unpredictable .

Harry Wilson puts a free-kick from wide on the right into the penalty area, Jaka Bijol gets his head to it but sends the ball straight up.

Despite the wind, it's a pretty comfortable claim for Sunderland keeper Robin Roefs.

When you are fighting in a game or defending a set-piece you can normally see a connection between players, you see them talking to each other and that helps tells you if they are team or not.

Manchester United’s players were just standing there today. I didn't see in their body language that they are prepared to do everything for the manager, the club or the fans to change their situation.

It’s an easy thing to say they are lacking leaders but it’s true. They just don’t have big characters. It’s not something technical but if you are in a tunnel and you saw the likes of [former Man Utd defenders] Nemanja Vidic or Rio Ferdinand their body language told the opposition that they were going to have a tough afternoon.

But you look at their current players and their opposition would be like 'I’m not scared of these'. No matter which manager has come in it’s always the same story.

Teasing cross from Jayden Bogle but Sunderland manage to get it away, albeit not entirely convincingly.

The wind is howling with litter being blown onto the pitch. Far from ideal playing conditions.

On whether Michael Carrick will still be manager by their next game:

I can't answer that honestly, I really don't know because of how the club is. I think there's so many different options.

The club could decide to go in a different direction and Michael Carrick, who would blame him if he turned around and went in a different direction.

To give you my opinion, I don't think he will be, but for whichever reason I don't know.

But then from Manchester United's perspective, who do you get? What do you want? Because Unai Emery's not coming and who wants to be in control of this football club? No-one would touch them at the moment and the way the club is and the structure of it.

All very scrappy early on and Leeds wing-back Jayden Bogle sums it up with a a shot dragged well wide.

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick, speaking to Sky Sports: "Leny [Yoro] slipped for one goal, it was a dubious free-kick against Ayden [Heaven] for another.

"I didn't think anyone was close enough to him for it to be a free-kick. Leny's slip is unfortunate, he's got a huge future and he's a talented player. He's made a mistake today and he's feeling it but he shouldn't. Mistakes happen - it's not even a mistake it's just a slip.

"The third goal, the fans were there waiting for us to get something in the game second half if we'd got one chance, one goal in the second half they would have been with us. We just couldn't find that moment and that third goal is a killer moment. From that time it was what it was.

"It's obvious to say that - strange mixed emotions of a finish of a game. Not a nice way to end the game."

On players: "Tough day for them - we went into the game being rocked a bit and you could feel that on the pitch. They kept going and they're disappointed, they're hurt. The players are feeling it. It's not a nice feeling when you see the disappointment. It is what it is, you have to accept it and that's the situation we're in at the moment.

"It's difficult for me to have a day like this at this club and feel the emotion - the dynamic of what it was like today. Not for me personally but for Man Utd. It was really mixed today. I feel a lot of responsibility, I've been at the club a long time. It hurts an awful to to see us going through this at this moment in time."

On leaving Fernandes on the bench: "There's always times when you're trying to make decisions that are to change the course of play and made a difference but those are the decisions we made today."

On lap of pitch at full-time: "It wasn't a farewell from me. I'm mixed emotions, I'm feeling it for my players, they're going through a tough spell. Some of it we can help, some of it the situation unravels and the boys are feeling it at the moment. Mixed emotions for the supporters to respond in that way.

"To have that connection with the supporters it's mixed emotions, it'll take a bit of time to digest but I certainly appreciate their support. The situation is where we are and we haven't had results or performances that have been good enough.

"It's a tough situation, there's no hiding from it. What it looks like and what's next I really don't know. I will always do my best for the football club and I won't change that now. I love what I do and I feel the responsibility - we'll have to wait and see."

Leeds kick-off and they're under way at the Stadium of Light.

Calvert-Lewin is a good player, we know that but I think we've got to look on the positive side as well.

The biggest concern for Sunderland was Brobbey, and he is fit and if he plays to his strength, he will cause them problems.

We've got to look at that as a bonus because since the Manchester City game, he's been missed. Now hopefully he can hit the ground running again, and he's a huge plus for Sunderland.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin was a big doubt for this with a bruised foot so it's a huge boost for Leeds that he's been passed fit.

Since November 29th last year, only Erling Haaland (21) has more Premier League goals than the Leeds striker (17), while the Englishman has the best conversion rate of the 52 players to have 40+ shots in that time (24.6%).

Right, we'll continue to bring you reaction to that humbling defeat for Manchester United at home to Bournemouth and what it means for Michael Carrick's future.

But, of course, we have a big game in the north east to enjoy as well. The teams are out at the Stadium of Light and here's a reminder of how we expect them to line up.

Both sides are buoyed by the inclusion of their big front men.

I don't think Michael Carrick was ever going to bring Bruno Fernandes on. I think it was a deliberate decision just to leave him on the bench and almost try to embarrass him a little bit in front of the supporters - I don't know.

I think what Bruno did after the game in Como was on the back of him getting brought off and I think Michael Carrick never had any intention of bringing him on at all - that sub was never going to happen.

Fernandes went and warmed up [during the game] and usually he'd get a big round of applause but there was just a little round of applause with some of the fans singing 'Bruno, Bruno'.

I was surprised, I thought there'd be more behind him but they weren't behind him, so I think a lot of the fans probably agreed with it and are getting fed up with it.

There have been different managers [in recent seasons] but it's the same players. There have been a few changes in players but they're just not showing anything.

You could tell today that it was like they'd given up - they're not running for this manager and they're not wanting to fight.

The fans deserve so much more, you can tell they want more and they know he's been let down by those players.

Something needs to change, says Harry Maguire. I think we're all thinking the same thing when it comes to what we expect that to be.

Michael Carrick wore the face of a man who knew that, too, as he walked off at the end.

Manchester United

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire speaking to Sky Sports: "It wasn't good enough. Disappointed to give a goal away so early - another set play - and conceding first in the Premier League it makes it difficult.

"A mistake for the second makes it hard for ourselves. We didn't perform well enough as individuals or as a team and we didn't deserve anything from the game.

"It's not clicking at the moment. Results are not good enough and performances in the last week not good enough. Still early in the season.

"Got to find something, question yourself, look in the mirror - that's the most important thing - think what you can do more and what more you can contribute to the team and if we do that we'll get somewhere."

Feel responsibility? "Of course - you have to look after your own performances and take responsibility. This is a huge club and every day you have to prove why you're wearing this badge.

"At the moment we're not doing enough as players. Michael [Carrick] turned our season on its head last year and we played brilliant football and got brilliant results. This season we haven't performed well enough as individuals."

Conversation in player group? "If those conversations happen it will remain private. We want to do more be better and get better results. At the moment it's nowhere near good enough and something needs to change."

A quick reminder among the fall out to another damaging defeat for Manchester United that there is another game to come this afternoon as Sunderland host Leeds at the Stadium of Light.

Leeds have never won a Premier League game in the 4:30pm kick-off slot in eight attempts (D3 L5).

In the past two seasons, 49% of Leeds’ points in the Premier League have come in games kicking off at 8pm or later (28/57), which is 21% higher than any other ever-present team (Liverpool, 28%).

Manchester United have failed to win in their last six games in the Premier League, their last longer winless streak was from 1 April 2025 to 16 May 2025, a run of eight games.

Players have got to stand up and be counted, but then of course you're going to look at Ineos for what they did over the summer. They haven't recruited the best and they haven't got the players in.

As players, there's no togetherness, there's individuals. They were all separated on the pitch and Bournemouth looked like the team that were on fire.

It's disappointing to see Michael Carrick like that. I wish there were players who knew and had the love for the club that he's got.

The players might look dejected, but I think Michael knows that the writing is on the wall.
