Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini placed "a lot of expectation" on Regis le Bris' side when they travelled to Old Trafford last weekend.
The Black Cats fell to a 2-0 defeat after conceding two first-half goals, something which the former player said was "frustrating".
Speaking on BBC Radio Newcastle, Gabbiadini said: "They just didn't have the final touches against Manchester United. We have seen some good goals scored away from home and some comebacks at home this season, but it just didn't happen for them this time.
"The result was frustrating because there was a lot of expectation on them, myself included in that.
"You don't often get the opportunity to go to Old Trafford and feel like you are the better team.
"They may have better players that cost a lot more money, but as a team they aren't as well organised or advanced as us at this stage of the season."
