| Bastian Schweinsteiger expecting to face a tough Sunderland side tomorrow afternoon |
MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is expecting a difficult encounter when Sunderland visit Old Trafford tomorrow (3pm).
The Red Devils currently sit second in the Premier League standings, two points behind rivals Manchester City, after back-to-backs wins against Liverpool and Southampton.
Louis van Gaal's men face a Sunderland side sitting rockbottom and in search of their first league win of the campaign.
But Schweinsteiger is refusing to get complacent, insisting the goalless draw against Newcastle last month proves the Black Cats can still pose a threat.
"We’re second in the league and we’re looking forward to maybe taking the next step," the German told MUTV. "We did a great job at Southampton.
"For us it’s very important to make three points at home. Sunderland have some problems but I don’t believe this team will give up.
"It will not be so easy but we are convinced about ourselves. If we do our job very well then we will reward ourselves."

He added: "We played against Newcastle at home and dominated the match but in the end we played out a draw.
"Here in the Premier League it’s not easy to play against these teams and there is a little bit of a difference between the Premier League and German league.
"You can see the quality in the Premier League is very high. Every team has good players, good individual players so you can see the difference."
