O'Shea feels for Man Utd during difficult campaign

John O'Shea believes his old club Manchester United have lost their air of invincibility after helping Sunderland beat them on Saturday.

Former Manchester United defender and current Sunderland captain John O'Shea has expressed his shock at how far his former club has fallen.

Relegation-threatened Sunderland defeated United 2-1 at the Stadium of Light on Saturday as the home side picked up a crucial three points to move within a point of safety.

But while O'Shea was delighted to see his side get the win, he felt for his former club - where he won five Premier League titles and a Champions League - but said the team is struggling to keep the mystique that surrounded it during his time there.
