The Man Utd strike force of Rooney,Mata and Van Persie looked a bit devoid of ideas on how to brighten things up a bit.The gloom of the last season still hangs over the team.
Van Gaal has not yet got them to win. Mata put United ahead briefly in the 17th minute but Jack Rodwell equalised for Sunderland about 15 minutes later.
That’s the way the score stayed till the end.
