[Teams] Sunderland vs Man Utd: Confirmed Line-Ups

Manchester United take on Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday evening looking to get their title defence back on track.

The Red Devils slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat to West Brom at Old Trafford last weekend to leave them sitting 12th in the table, so need victory today to keep in touch with the early pace-setters.

David Moyes has handed a debut to youngster Januzaj who starts in midfield alongside Nani, Tom Cleverley and Michael Carrick. Wayne Rooney returns to partner Robin van Persie in attack while Phil Jones plays with Nemanja Vidic in defence.

Here are the confirmed line-ups:

Sunderland

Westwood, Celustka, Colback, O’Shea, Roberge, C’mole, Ki, Gardner, Johnson, Giaccherini, Altidore.

Subs: Cabral, Larsson, Wickham, Cuellar, Dong-won, Borini, Mannone.

Man Utd

De Gea, Rafael, Evra, Vidic, Jones, Carrick, Cleverley, Januzaj, Nani, Rooney, van Persie.

Subs: Giggs, Smalling, Chicharito, Welbeck, Valencia, Kagawa, Lindegaard.
