Daily Mail | February 15, 2017

Sunderland's players were united in New York City on Wednesday as the squad enjoy a four-day bonding trip Stateside.

The Black Cats, who are currently bottom of the Premier League table, posed for a team photo ahead of a morning run around Central Park and hope the break will help in their bid to beat the drop.

First-team players including Jermain Defoe and Adnan Januzaj wrapped up warm alongside manager David Moyes and coaches Robbie Stockdale and Paul Bracewell on what appeared to be a chilly day in Manhattan.
