WATCH: Sunderland 0-3 Man Utd highlights
Monday 10 April 2017 00:03, UK
Manchester United put a spate of recent draws behind them to boost their top-four hopes with a routine 3-0 victory at bottom club Sunderland to move fifth in the Premier League on Sunday.
Once again it was veteran Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic who provided the inspiration for Jose Mourinho's side, scoring the opener and setting up a late goal for Marcus Rashford.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan was also on target while Sunderland had Seb Larsson sent off shortly before half-time.
Six draws in their last nine league games had eroded United's hopes of a top-four finish and victory over Sunderland was imperative if they were to stay in touch.
