Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill wants his team to "play with freedom" at Manchester United on Saturday.
A victory would provide another huge boost for the Northern Irishman, although he revealed he is not worried about his future on Wearside following a poor run of results. "I haven't gone out publicly and said every single day that I've got support (from the owner)," O'Neill said. "I've never felt the real need to do this. You can say what you want. I'm in the business of trying to win some football games and I think with my record in the game, I wouldn't have survived for so long if I hadn't managed to come through some sticky periods."
