However, there will definitely be concerns over the form of Angel Di Maria after another appearance to forget.
Here are our player ratings for the Red Devils win:
GK: David De Gea – 6
Superb stop to deny Connor Wickham but was a relatively quiet day for the Spaniard as Sunderland field to trouble.
RB: Anotonio Valencia – 6
Handled Wickham very effectively, with the English forward getting very little rise out of the right-back and barring an early shot was kept quiet.
