Jose Mourinho is yet to determine his strongest starting line-up, but one player guaranteed a spot is David De Gea. After his Real Madrid fiasco a few summers ago, the Spaniard has put to bed any concerns over his future, proving in his performances that he is committed to Manchester United.
The Black Cats would be sitting in the Championship this season if it wasn’t for Jermain Defoe’s goalscoring exploits at the end of last term. The striker is the only player David Moyes can rely upon to fulfil his job on the pitch.
