What happened: Manchester United and Sunderland played to a 0-0 draw at the Stadium of Light on Saturday. Sunderland created the better chances, with Brian Brobbey threatening repeatedly and one effort striking the post, but Senne Lammens kept United level with four saves. United managed only one shot on target, which came deep into stoppage time.

Why it matters: With three league matches left entering the day, the result slows United's push to finish strongly near the top of the Premier League table and gives Sunderland another point in a steady mid-table campaign. It also keeps focus on Michael Carrick's future amid Manchester United speculation after a flat attacking display from his side.

What to watch: Manchester United's next results will matter in the race to lock in their final league position and shape the conversation around Carrick. Sunderland will look to turn a strong performance into a win in their final two matches.
