No complaints from Bruce
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce admitted his team were outplayed in the 2-0 defeat to Manchester United.
As someone who was part of the first United side that won the Premier League 18 years ago, Bruce can tell a decent team when he sees one.
And he doesn't buy into the argument that this Red Devils group are an inferior outfit after seeing them play some superb football at times at Old Trafford on Boxing Day.
"I have heard it said that United are not playing that well," he said. "Well, they are unbeaten for six months, so that is not a bad statistic is it?
"They are top of the league, with games in hand, and history suggests they always get better in the second half of the season.
"Maybe we were a bit naive. Sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and say you were well beaten. But I wouldn't bet against them, that's for sure."
