Sunderland fullback Patrick van Aanholt expects to face a highly motivated Manchester United this weekend.
United lost their opening match 2-1 at home to Swansea City.
But Van Aanholt told The Journal: "They lost the first game but it doesn't mean that they will have no confidence because they had a good pre-season.
"I know the manager very well from being the national team manager for Holland last season. I know how he does things and he will put a team out that wants to win and get the three points.
"He will train them hard this week. I know he hates losing - I think everybody does - so I think he will have the team ready and be ready for a fight on Sunday."
