Manchester United fell to an agonising 2-1 defeat at the Stadium of Light as a late Lamine Kone header was diverted into his own net by the unfortunate David de Gea. Whabi Khazri opened the scoring for Sunderland with a third-minute free-kick, before Anthony Martial equalised, but United's defence was breached for a second time as Kone's powerful downward header from a corner rebounded off De Gea to send the Reds home pointless. United boss Louis van Gaal made one change to his starting XI as Morgan Schneiderlin replaced Marouane Fellaini, but there was a new and quite aptly-named youngster on the bench with 21-year-old defender Donald Love included in the matchday squad for the first time on this Valentine's weekend trip to Wearside. Will Keane was also among the seven substitutes as a reward for his recent fine form in the Under-21s. But it takes more than just fine form to win matches - it takes goals and lots of them.
