Manchester United welcome Sheffield United to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Wednesday night, looking to bounce back from a shaky performance in the FA Cup semi-finals against Coventry City. Here are five things to look out for in the match:
1.
Amad deserves a chance:
With Marcus Rashford a doubt due to injury, Amad Diallo could get a chance to start on the right wing. The Ivorian has impressed in cameo appearances and is eager to prove his worth at Old Trafford.2.
The siege mentality:
Manager Erik ten Hag has adopted a combative stance in the wake of criticism following the Coventry display. This could galvanize the dressing room and inspire a more determined performance against Sheffield United.3.
Wan-Bissaka’s position:
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has struggled at left-back in recent matches. The experiment should be abandoned, with Diogo Dalot moving to the left and Wan-Bissaka returning to his more natural right-back role.4.
Another unwanted record?:
United have only won once in their last seven Premier League games. Failure to beat Sheffield United could extend that winless streak to five matches, the first time that has happened since 2019.5.
