Trai Hume's header set Sunderland on their way to a deserved pre-season victory against Dundee United at Tannadice. Northern Ireland defender Hume broke the deadlock early in the second half, before an own-goal from Charlie Mulgrew doubled the Black Cats' lead.
Trai Hume's header and a comedy own-goal saw Sunderland see off their former manager Jack Ross' Dundee United side to clock up their first win of pre-season. The Black Cats, who saw their game against Rangers in Portugal abandoned at half-time due to a powercut when they were leading 1-0, and then lost against Roma in midweek, returned to the UK and earned a convincing victory at Tannadice Park.
Ross Stewart returned to Sunderland's starting XI as the Black Cats resumed their pre-season preparations at Dundee United. Stewart missed Wednesday's friendly against Roma out in Portugal with a minor knock, but the Scotland international striker was back in the side at Tannadice Park.
Sunderland paid an initial £500,000 to sign West Ham defender Aji Alese.
Bailey Wright says Sunderland's new signing Daniel Ballard was a 'stand-out' player in Blackpool's rise to the Championship the season before last. Ballard joined the Black Cats from Arsenal last week in a move that could eventually be worth £2m.
Bailey Wright was not short of offers over the summer as his contract ran down - but he insists re-signing for Sunderland was always his priority. Following the club's Wembley play-off win which secured promotion to the Championship, Wright's deal was due to expire at the end of June but Sunderland made it clear to him, and also publicly, that they wanted him to stay on Wearside and that they would be offering him a new contract.
Sunderland podcaster Philip West of Roker Report has been left ‘absolutely elated’ by the news that Bailey Wright has been given a new deal at the Stadium of Light.
