The Struggle continues as Sunderland hold Manchester United to a draw

Manchester United managed to share points from their second premier league match against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.

United had gone ahead through Juan Mata in the 17th minute but the lead was short-lived when Jack Rodwell levelled before half time.

Red devils' new manager Louis Van Gaal admitted that his side was suffered from lack of confidence and that cost them to share the spoils.

Van Gaal said: “One point, that is not good enough for Manchester United.

''We lost a lot of balls in situations where I don’t expect it. We were dominating without creating chances. That is disappointing.

''I think that is down to the confidence. The play was much better in the United States [in pre-season].

''We have to improve but it takes time. You can never say how long it will take. If you win the next game, then confidence is coming back.''
 
It could be recalled that United were beaten at home in their opening game of the season 1-2 by Swansea.
