Manchester United give David Moyes a forgetful gift on his return to Old Trafford.

United failed to threat Sunderland with their attacks. The only interesting one was the Paul Pogba cross being saved by Pickford easily. Jordan Pickford sent his volley on a counter attack for Defoe who controlled the ball amazingly before transferring the ball on his left foot and firing it wide from goal. De Gea saved a van Aanholt freekick easily.
Pogba and Lingard combined well before a brilliant lay-off by Lingard to Pogba who curled with his right before hitting the post.
Defoe chipped the ball into the United box which forced De Gea to save double shots from- Victor Anichebe and Borini. Pogba shot from range but it was straight in the hand of Jordan Pickford. Pogba then tried his luck with a volley from 18-yards but shot it above the bar.
Blind finally got United in lead by a fantastic run from the full-back. Ibrahimovic controlled the ball for some time and saw Blind making a run for it, he got the ball and finished it like a top class striker.
Mata curled in a free kick with his left and forced Pickford for a fantastic save. Pogba saw his powerful header go above the crossbar four minutes into the break.
Mata played a lovely through ball to Zlatan after nutmegging a Sunderland defender but the Swedish shot it high and powerful over the bar.
Mkhitaryan's through ball to Zlatan forced Pickford again to make a fantastic save with his leg to bring hopes for Sunderland.
Dong gave away the ball to Pogba who made a run before passing it to Zlatan who finished it sweetly and gave United 2 goal advantage.
But it was Mkhitaryan who stole the show with his lovely little scorpion kick. Mkhitaryan found Zlatan's cross and finished it with a lovely scorpion kick and it was game over for Sunderland.
Fabio Borini bought a consolation goal for Sunderland with his thumping volley from a distance of 25-yards, amazing.
