Manchester United v Sunderland live: Premier League result and final score as Benjamin Sesko strikes and handed VAR reprieve to ease pressure on Ruben Amorim

A lovely touch from Altay Bayindir as he congratulates Senne Lammens on keeping a clean sheet on his Manchester United debut.

Ruben Amorim’s big call before the match was to drop Bayindir but Lammens was solid on his first match and dealt with crosses with confidence.

It’s still been an excellent start to the season for Sunderland, who remain sixth but could drop a couple of places depending on results elsewhere.

A couple of moments didn’t go their way today, including an early chance for Bertrand Traore when the game was goalless and the penalty overturn before half-time.

They host Wolves after the international break.

Manchester United rise to the dizzy heights of 8th! A third win in a row at Old Trafford and a clean sheet for debutant goalkeeper Senne Lammens. Anfield next.

A relatively routine win for Ruben Amorim and there have been few of those, so he can welcome that. Another goal for Sesko, a debut clean sheet for Lammens and the sense United got a reaction to defeat at Brentford all helped. It feels likelier Amorim will be in the dugout at Anfield after the international break.

90+2 mins: So Ruben Amorim will head into the international break with his future looking safe for now. His United side travel to Liverpool next, which is obviously a tough assignment that could lead to more pressure, but a third win in a row at Old Trafford is something to build on.

90 mins: Save for Lammens! A flowing move from Sunderland works a shot for Talbi but Lammens saves with his legs.

There will be five minutes of added time. That could have made it interesting.

89 mins: Cunha skips past a couple of challenges but his shot is saved by Roefs. Cunha has been bright since coming on.

85 mins: For those playing Amorim bingo, he has just made a centre-back substitution. Off went Leny Yoro, on comes Harry Maguire. Manuel Ugarte is also on for Casemiro, who had been booked.

84 mins: Cunha, still looking for his first United goal, looks to work a shooting opportunity on the break but Geertruida stands well and clears for a corner.

Cunha then heads wide from the corner.

81 mins: Back from a ban, Casemiro gets a booking for sliding in needlessly and missing the ball. He never learns, but the United fans sing his name.
