Manchester United have been struggling lately and it started anything but well against Sheffield United. In the 35th minute, Jayden Bogle made it 1-0 for the away team at Old Trafford. A few minutes before the break, Harry Maguire equalised.
But Sheffield United regained the lead shortly after half-time when Ben Brereton Diaz made it 2-1. Manchester United picked up the deficit and that time it was Bruno Fernandes who scored a penalty kick, 2-2.
The match then went towards crosses, but Erik ten Hag’s men managed to take a three-pointer.
Bruno Fernandes made it 3-2 in the 81st minute and shortly afterwards Rasmus Højlund made it 4-2 on a play from the Portuguese team captain. It was the last hit of the match.
– Fernandes is an incredible player, says former Irish national team player Andy Reid in the BBC.
Manchester United park in sixth place in the Premier League. Sheffield United is still jumbo.
