Sunderland defender Nyron Nosworthy has called for unity ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip to Manchester United.

The struggling Black Cats face a daunting trip to Old Trafford to take on the champions on the back of a disastrous run of form which has seen them drop into the relegation places.

Last weekend's 4-1 home defeat at the hands of Bolton Wanderers was overshadowed by reports that manager Roy Keane was considering his future on Wearside.

But Nosworthy has called on everybody connected with the club to unite in a bid to kick-start a disappointing season to life.

"We need unity in times like this, everyone needs to pull together," Nosworthy told the club's official website.

"We're having a sticky patch as a team and we need to get out of it as a team, stick together.

"Everyone will expect us to lose at Old Trafford so anything we can get is a big result, we just want to put in a good performance.

"We have to go there and be bold and give it everything and see what happens."
