Ruben Amorim decided to shake things up, and his gamble worked! Manchester United beat Sunderland 2-0 in a Premier League match on Saturday, October 4, 2025. This win came just in time, easing the huge pressure on Amorim before the international break. The whispers about his future may calm down, at least for now. Amorim is still chasing his first back-to-back league wins in nearly a year, but this match was a sign he’s moving in the right direction. Showing his tough side, he dropped star signing Matheus Cunha, who cost a whopping $84 million in the summer. Instead, new goalkeeper Senne Lammens got his first start. This game was seen as a tricky challenge because United had already lost three out of six league matches. The brave choices paid off! Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko scored early first-half goals at Old Trafford, giving United a comfortable lead. The team also kept their first clean sheet of the season, letting in no goals — a big relief for the United fans. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s boss Mikel Arteta is also under pressure as he tries to finally win the title on his fourth attempt. His team zoomed to the top of the table with a 2-0 win over West Ham. However, it wasn’t all good news, as captain Martin Odegaard got injured once again. In the late kickoff on Saturday, defending champions Liverpool faced Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. With a win, they could take back the top spot in the Premier League standings. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if Liverpool can strike back and challenge the leaders. A thrilling weekend of Premier League football is keeping the excitement high, with managers battling to prove their worth and teams fighting for top positions in the league.
