MATCH EVENTS

1’: We’re off!

3’: SAVE! The ball deflects to McBurnie who’s in space! He fires! But Onana makes a comfortable save!

16’: Antony takes a shot at goal, not enough power on it, easy save for Foderingham.

17’: Antony fires wide by a lot.

21’: Onana is down. Medics looking at him. Looks like he’s going to stay in for the moment.

24’: SAVE! Cameron Archer fires from distance through the legs of Maguire but Onana is alert and keeps it out!

28’: GOAL MAN U!! Scott McTominay chests the ball up in the air, somehow adjusts to make the volley, it deflects and takes the keeper flat-footed!

31’: PENALTY FOR SHEFFIELD UNITED! McTominay the goal-scorer penalized for handball!

34’: GOAL SHEFFIELD UNITED! Oli McBurnie smashes it in off the inside of the post!

37’: Luke Thomas pulls down Antony by the shirt

38’: Højlund stretches out and can’t quite make the tap-in on the cross.

44’: Bruno Fernandes takes a free kick and hits the top of the crossbar!

45’: Auston Trusty carded for preventing Rashford from taking a quick throw-in

45+3’: SAVE! The ball deflects out to Højlund! He fires quickly but Foderingham was also off his line quickly and makes himself big to make the save.

HT Sheffield United 1-1 Manchester United Tied at the break but gotta say, Man U do not look like the better side.


46’: We’re back!

48’: SAVE! Norwood fires on target, Onana just tips it over for a corner.

51’: Sheffield United substitution: Rhian Brewster on for Oli McBurnie who comes off gingerly

52’: SAVE!! Brewster fires from distance, Onana parries up but it bounces up in the air! McAtee attempts to get the rebound but can’t jump high enough. Some check for a foul by Maguire on McAtee but the refs give nothing.

55’: Mixup in the back for Sheffield United! Foderingham and Trusty don’t link up and Rashford takes the pass, but the shot from Højlund is saved.

58’: MISS! Rashford puts it just a hair wide of the far corner!

62’: Vinícius Costa slides in late on Antony

63’: Man U triple sub: Alejandro Garnacho, Christian Eriksen and Anthony Martial on for Antony, Scott McTominay and Rasmus Højlund

66’: Hamer fires a wild shot into the stands.

67’: Amrabat fires a thunderbolt and hits the crossbar!! They pick up the rebound but Fernandes puts it wide!

77’: GOAL MAN U!! Diogo Dalot fires a speculative effort from distance and it turns out beautifully! Comes right off the keeper’s fingertips into the net!

78’: Sheffield United substitution: Ben Osborn on for James McAtee

82’: Jonny Evans seems to have hurt himself committing a tactical foul

84’: Man U substitution: Raphaël Varane on for Jonny Evans

84’: Sheffield United substitution: Bénie Traoré on for Gustavo Hamer

87’: Foderingham flat-footed again as the shot comes in but Garnacho only ripples the wrong side of the net.

88’: Man U substitution: Mason Mount on for Marcus Rashford

90+1’: Garnacho puts his shot wide! Offside anyway but that was a bad miss.

FT Sheffield United 1-2 Manchester United Man U with a not entirely convincing but badly needed win!
