Welcome to this Premier League game between Sheffield United and Manchester United at Bramall Lane. The game will be overshadowed by the recent death of Sir Bobby Charlton, the Manchester United legend passing away earlier today at the age of 86.  

Lineups for the two sides:  

Sheffield United: (4-4-2) Foderingham; Thomas, Robinson, Trusty, Bogle; Hamer, Souza, Norwood, McAtee; Archer, McBurnie (Brewster 52) 

Man Utd: (4-2-3-1) Onana; Dalot, Maguire, Evans, Lindelof; Amrabat, McTominay (Eriksen 63); Antony (Garnacho 64), Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund (Martial 63) 

Two sides heavily affected by injuries see two starting elevens named that are far from full strength. Manchester United’s most recent absentee is Casemiro, the Brazilian missing out following an injury picked up on international duty. 

Man United captain Bruno Fernandes will lay a wreath for the late Sir Bobby Charlton before kick off who will be remembered along with those currently affected by the situation in Israel. 

Kick Off! 

24’ Sheffield United 0-0 Manchester United Sheffield have a big chance to take the lead! Archer collects the ball from a poor Amrabat touch, manages to get upfield before firing a shot on goal that requires Onana to get low to keep it out. 

28’ GOAL Manchester United Score! Sheffield United 0-1 Manchester United  

Rashford picks up a loose ball on the left flank places it back into the box where Fernandes lifts it onto McTominay who puts away the strike to give the Red Devils the lead. 

30’ PENALTY TO SHEFFIELD! McAtee fires a cross that collides with McTominay’s arm and the referee says penalty. Contentious decision but it does seem that McTominay does move his arm out to meet the ball; VAR agrees and now the Blades have a chance to equalise.  

34’ GOAL PENALTY CONVERTED Sheffield United 1-1 Manchester United 

McBurnie scores the penalty with a strong shot in off the post. Onana guesses the right way, but he doesn’t have a hope of reaching the ball. One-a-piece at Bramall Lane! 

43’ Sheffield United 1-1 Manchester United Fernandes brought down outside the box for a free kick. Fernandes goes for goal from the spot kick, but his shot has fired just off the bar, Foderingham was left motionless, nothing he could have done. 

45+3’ Sheffield United 1-1 Manchester United Great save from Foderingham at point blank after the ball falls to Hojlund following a deflected shot. 

Half Time Sheffield United 1-1 Manchester United 

54’ Sheffield United 1-1 Manchester United Brewster takes a fierce shot outside the box but its fired straight at Onana and the Cameroonian keeps it out. 

58’ Sheffield United 1-1 Manchester United Rashford receives the ball to the left of the goal and aims for the far post, but the ball just drifts wide. 

65’ Sheffield United 1-1 Manchester United Amrabat takes a driven shot that came close to hitting the back of the net, but it blasts off the post and stays out. The Red Devils are coming close to putting themselves back in the lead. 

77’ GOAL Sheffield United 1-2 Manchester United Dalot scores a cracking goal! Brilliant strike from outside the box, curling into the top right corner. Foderingham arguably should be doing better to keep it out, but it doesn’t take away from the terrific shot. Manchester United now back in front.
