Victor Ozhianvuna’s story is one of those rare tales that feels like it was written in the stars, a journey from the pitches of Dublin’s southside to the cusp of one of football’s grandest stages.

Manchester United face Sunderland at Old Trafford on Saturday in what promises to be a crucial Premier League encounter for both teams. For Ruben Amorim, the fixture carries even more weight than usual. It marks his 50th match as United manager, and while the occasion should be a celebration of his journey so far, the poor form of his side means there is more pressure than pride surrounding the milestone. Every Manchester United match comes with enormous expectation, but this one feels particularly decisive.
