You have to feel for Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat…
After watching his team get thrashed 4-1 at home to Manchester City in the League Cup on Tuesday, the Dutchman now leads the Black Cats against in-form Manchester United.
His compatriot Louis van Gaal has shown no mercy in his team selection, picking an attacking line-up that features Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata, and summer signings Anthony Martial and Memphis Depay.
Will Martial find the net again?
