Comments:

League position: 6th Manchester United had now won 19 Premier League games on Boxing Day; more than any other club. This was only the second season that United have been outside of the Premier League's top five at Christmas (also 2013-14 under David Moyes). Zlatan Ibrahimović scored his 50th goal for club and country in all competitions in 2016 to equal his highest total for a calendar year (also 2012).

Comments:

League position: 18th Sunderland manager David Moyes faced Manchester United in this game for the first time since being sacked as the Red Devils' boss in April 2014. The Black Cats had now lost six of their last seven away games in the Premier League. They had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 away games in the Premier League.
