I played for Man United but I’m backing ‘buzzing’ Sunderland to reclaim Premier League place.
Former Sunderland and Manchester United forward Dwight Yorke has been impressed with Regis Le Bris’ side.
Football icon Dwight Yorke has backed his former club Sunderland to return to the Premier League this season. The former Black Cats striker, who finished his playing career on Wearside, reckons the team will be hard to stop now they have momentum.
Speaking to SafestCasinoSites.co.uk, Yorke said: “Listen, when the Black Cats have their tails up, that is a football club that is really hard to stop. The momentum is building in Sunderland and it’s great to see that. Sunderland are one of the best supported teams in the country. The fans are really behind them, and the players respond to that – when the football club is performing, everyone in the city gets behind them and it’s buzzing up there.”
Yorke believes that Sunderland’s have been making the right progress on the pitch and that experience will stand them in good stead for the remainder of the season.

He added: “It’s a buzzing city when the club is doing well. Obviously, the Newcastle thing winds them up, but they will love being top of the Championship. We know the Championship is not easy. They’ve been there before and they understand what is required to go back to the Premier League.
“They’ve been making good in-roads this season. For Sunderland to get promoted, they need to keep building on what they’ve already built at the football club over the last few seasons. If they can do that, then I would suggest that they will get the promotion they’re looking for.”
