Given the season it would be heartening to witness David Moyes receive a warm reception from Manchester United fans on his first return to Old Trafford since his sacking two years ago. This is as far as goodwill can extend of course as on the field the supporters only wish to see Sunderland beaten to make it four consecutive Premier League victories for José Mourinho’s side.
