Sunderland lost against Manchester United in the Premier League at the weekend.
Former Chelsea and Celtic midfielder Craig Burley, who now works as a pundit for ESPN, has stated on social networking site Twitter that it is amazing that Jermain Defoe is still at Sunderland.
Burley made the comment during the Premier League game between Sunderland and Manchester United at the weekend.
The Black Cats lost yet again, going down 3-0 at the Stadium of Light on Sunday afternoon.
England international striker Defoe started the game and played for the entire 90 minutes.
Defoe has been Sunderland’s best player this season, and it is hard to see the 34-year-old remain at the Stadium of Light beyond the summer if David Moyes’s side get relegated to the Championship.
The former West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur striker has scored 14 goals and created 14 chances in 31 league matches for the Black Cats so far this season.
Sunderland are at the foot of the Premier League table at the moment with 20 points from 31 matches.
The Black Cats will return to action next weekend when they take on West Ham United at the Stadium of Light in the league.
