Manchester United began what is a crucial week for them with a 2-1 victory over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. Scott McTominay opened the scoring for the visitors with a scuffed effort which creeped into Wes Foderingham's far post.
However, they were pegged back just six minutes later when the Scottish international was adjudged to have handled a Blades cross in the area; Oli McBurnie fired home the resulting penalty.
United were better after the break and won the game with less than 15 minutes remaining as Diogo Dalot fired in a brilliant long-range effort for the Reds.
The victory moves Erik ten Hag's team up to eighth, five points off the top four.
