Manchester United overcame a resilient Sheffield United side, coming from behind twice to secure a crucial 4-2 victory at Old Trafford. The Blades, despite being rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table, provided a stern test for Erik ten Hag’s men. Andre Onana’s misplaced pass to Diogo Dalot allowed Jayden Bogle to put Sheffield United in front in the 35th minute. However, Harry Maguire, making his return against his former club, equalized seven minutes later. Ben Brereton Diaz restored Sheffield United’s lead shortly after halftime, but Fernandes leveled the score once more from the penalty spot in the 58th minute. In the 81st minute, Fernandes unleashed a stunning strike from distance to give United the lead for good. Rasmus Hojlund then sealed the victory four minutes later, ensuring that Erik ten Hag’s team remains in the hunt for European qualification. The victory lifts United to sixth place in the standings, above Newcastle, while Sheffield United remains 10 points adrift of safety and faces an almost inevitable relegation to the Championship.
