The last time Sunderland came to Old Trafford

The Boxing Day encounter provided some real festive cheer for the home fans as Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored a goal that will long be remembered during a 3-1 victory.

The Armenia international made an unorthodox connection with Zlatan Ibrahimovic's 86th-minute cross, sending the ball looping into the net via a scorpion kick.

Although it would have been disallowed in the VAR era for offside, it was a moment of improvised magic.

By then, the Reds were already well on the way to a fourth successive league win, with Daley Blind and Ibrahimovic on the scoresheet.

Netherlands defender Blind bagged his first goal of the campaign with a low finish from an Ibrahimovic pass in the first half.
