Amorim is the first manager to win his 50th match in charge of United since Ferguson, who achieved the same feat back in November 1987 away at Bury, according to stats from Opta.
David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag were all tripped up when reaching the same juncture in their Reds careers, but the Portuguese incumbent avoided the same fate.
Ruben has admitted that results since he joined the club in November last year have not been up to the standard he expects, but our win against the Black Cats is our third consecutive top-flight triumph at home, which we last managed between April and August 2023.
