Sunderland must not give in to Trai Hume transfer pressure: View
The Black Cats experienced a turbulent 2023/24 season, finishing in a disappointing 16th place despite initially appearing poised for a playoff spot. Managerial instability, with three different managers over the season, contributed to their inconsistency. Tony Mowbray began the season but was replaced by Michael Beale in December, who had a brief and unimpressive tenure before Mike Dodds took over temporarily. Despite having a squad rich in young talent, their inexperience was likely a factor in their struggles. Among their standout players was 22-year-old Trai Hume, whose exceptional performance this season has attracted interest from top clubs. Retaining Hume should be a priority for Sunderland as they prepare for the next season.
