Man United 4

 

 

Thanks for joining us!

I started the night saying that Man United were bidding to quieten the noise after the FA Cup semi-final.

Man United have done that, just.

Erik ten Hag's men needed to come from behind twice to beat Sheffield United but the 4-2 win has left European football in their own hands for next season.

As for Sheffield United, the Blades are on the brink of a return to the Championship.

Thanks for following along from another crazy match involving Man United.

21:54

Man United boost European hopes

A really good couple of days for Man United in the race for European football.

Tonight's win has seen the Red Devils capitalise on defeats for Chelsea and Newcastle over the last two days.

Man United are now sixth in the Premier League and are in the box seat to secure Europa League football next season.

Here is how the table looks following Man United's victory and Newcastle's defeat.

21:41

The good and bad for Man United...

A couple of stats from Opta following Man United's victory.

Man United scored four goals in a Premier League home game for the first time this season, with their last such instance coming in May last year against Chelsea (4-1).

Man United have conceded 50 Premier League goals this season. They’ve now conceded 50+ in two of their last three campaigns, having done so in just one of the first 29.

That last stat feels particularly telling of where Man United are at.

21:38

No game is too easy for Man United as Bruno Fernandes saves Erik ten Hag's blushes against Sheffield United

Mail Sport's Chris Wheeler offers his verdict from Old Trafford as Bruno Fernandes came to Man United's rescue.

'No team is too bad for United right now. No challenge too easy for Ten Hag,' he writes.

'The pieces are falling into place for Ineos and Ten Hag continues to give his employers plenty of reasons to decide he won’t be part of their plans.'

Ten Hag: 'We were very composed'

Erik ten Hag has dismissed suggestions there was panic among his Man United side after twice falling behind tonight.

The Man United boss praised his side's composure in an interview with the BBC.

Many positives today. The resilience to fight back after losing two times. But also there were negatives. We gave it away, it can't happen, unacceptable, we have to learn from this.But I'm happy with the win and we need to move on.

Have you seen some panic? No, not at all, we were very composed. We kept making chances throughout the game.

21:25

PLAYER RATINGS: Bruno Fernandes impresses for Man United in win over Sheffield United... but which two players only get a 5/10 rating?

Mail Sport's player ratings are in from Old Trafford with Nathan Salt running the rule over Man United's squad this evening.

You will not be surprised to know that Bruno Fernandes has scored highly.

A few Man United players though failed to impress against the Blades.

Fernandes - 'Being a Man United player demands winning games'

Bruno Fernandes has been speaking to Sky Sports following Man United's victory.

He admits the club have not won as many games as they should have recently, but praised team's character in coming from behind twice to beat Sheffield United this evening.

We talk about clean sheets all the time and we want to keep them. Credit to Sheffield United. In the end, we came back. We put ourselves in a position where it's tough to win games. But also it shows a bit of character.

Lately we haven't won as many as we should have. It's part of the job. You can win eight or nine games in a row, and then as soon as you lose you know you will be criticised. Being a Manchester United player demands winning games.

21:14

Wheatley's becomes Man United's 250th academy graduate

As mentioned Wheatley's debut means 250 academy graduates have now featured for Man United's first team.

21:11

Man United celebrate Wheatley debut

A great couple of days for Ethan Wheatley.

His brace on Tuesday night earned Man United a 2-1 win over Man City in the Premeir League Cup final.

The youngster was then handed his Man United senior debut tonight.

21:06

Fernandes shines in Man United comeback

No surprise to hear that Bruno Fernandes has been named man of the match.

Two goals and an assist for the Man United captain.

Fernandes was central to a crucial comeback win.

21:01

FULL TIME: Man United 4-2 Sheffield United

The whistle sounds on an eventful evening at Old Trafford as Man United claim all three points.

Erik ten Hag's side fell behind twice but bounced back to earn a crucial victory.

Man United move up to sixth in the Premier League with that victory, as Newcastle have been beaten by Crystal Palace.

A good night for Man United in the end.

20:59'

Man United 1-1 Sheffield United

Foderingham prevents Man United from going ahead!

It is straightforward ball over the top of the Sheffield United defence that catches out the Blades.

Rasmus Hojlund knocks the ball into the path of Alejandro Garnacho, who sees an effort kept out by the Foderingham diving to his right.

Foderingham has justified his recall in goal tonight.

19:43'

KICK OFF: Man United 0-0 Sheffield United

Referee Michael Salisbury gets the game underway.

Can Man United boost their European hopes or will the Blades spring a surprise.

We are about to find out.

18:58

The teams are in the tunnel

The two teams are in the Old Trafford tunnel and sporting some bold jackets.

Perfect time then to remind you of the respective team news.

Man United: Onana, Dalot, Maguire, Casemiro, Wan-Bissaka, Mainoo, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho, Hojlund.

Subs: Bayindir, Amrabat, McTominay, Diallo, Forson, Amass, Ogunneye, Jackson, Wheatley.

Sheffield United: Foderingham, Trusty, Ahmedhodzic, Holgate, Brooks, Osborn, Arblaster, Hamer, Bogle, Archer, Brereton.

Subs: Grbic, Norwood, Vini Souza, Ben Slimane, Larouci, Curtis, Osula, Hampson.

18:51

Sheffield United cannot be relegated tonight

For those of you wondering, Sheffield United cannot be relegated even if they lose at Old Trafford tonight.

A defeat at the weekend would leave the Blades at risk this weekend.

Back to back defeats against Man United and Newcastle would confirm their return to the Championship.

Should Sheffield United lose tonight and beat Newcastle on the weekend, they could still be relegated if Nottingham Forest match or better their result against Man City.

18:46

New technical director Jason Wilcox arrives at Old Trafford

Man United have been watchable on the pitch this season due to the chaotic nature of their matches.

They have been almost as watchable off it recently given the overhaul taking place under minority owners Ineos.

Technical director Jason Wilcox, who joined Man United last week, has been pictured arriving for his first match at Old Trafford in the role.

Reports this week have suggested Wilcox will be undertaking an audit of Erik ten Hag's management over the next month as the club prepare to finalise his future.

18:43

Fury in the stands

Mail Sport's Nathan Salt has been celeb spotting at Old Trafford ahead of kick-off.

Tommy Fury, the boxer and Love Island star, will be among the spectators present tonight.

Man United will be hoping there will be no fury among the spectators at full-time tonight.

Sorry...

18:39

Ten Hag: 'We didn't have too many options to rotate'

Erik ten Hag has been speaking ahead of kick-off, admitting to Man United's club media that his team selection was 'easy' given the shortage of options.

Man United's bench does look sparse tonight given their injury problems.

We didn't have too many options to make rotation. Those players are fit and recovered and have good spirit. It will be a tough game, that is clear, not everyone knows why but I know why.

18:30

Will Antony silence his critics?

Ah Antony.

The Brazilian generated headlines of his own for cupping his ears to Coventry players after the FA Cup semi-final shoot-out on Sunday.

Many have had their say on Antony's goading of the Coventry players, with several pointing out that Man United were 3-0 up when he was introduced as a substitute.

Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor branded Antony a 'prat' and asked if he is 'the most shameless flop ever to grace our beautiful league?'

Even Brentford's mischief maker Neal Maupay suggested Antony went too far.

The Brazilian has since defended himself, claiming he had been provoked by the Coventry players.

'Antony fortunate to start'

Nathan Salt, Mail Sport, at Old Trafford:

So it's the two changes for Man United with Scott McTominay dropping to the bench, given he was an injury doubt, and Marcus Rashford not involved at all after he limped out of Wembley.

Fans are pretty frustrated that Amad Diallo is again on the bench and I have to say I agree with them. Antony fortunate to get the nod to start after his antics at Wembley.

18:18

Premier League Cup winners named on Man United bench

Sticking with the youthful theme, Mail Sport's Nathan Salt points out that Harry Amass, Habeeb Ogunneye, Louis Jackson and Ethan Wheatley are on the bench tonight for the Red Devils.

The quartet were involved as Man United beat rivals Man City in the Premier League Cup last night.

Teenager Arblaster to lead out Blades at Old Trafford

A sign Sheffield United are looking to the future by naming Oli Arblaster as captain tonight?

The academy product is given the honour at the age of 19. Arblaster turns 20 next month.

Teenage dreams at the Theatre of Dreams.

18:11

Sheffield United team news: Arblaster captains Blades as Wilder makes four changes

Eye catching team news for Sheffield United.

Oli Arblaster has been named as captain on just his eighth Premier League appearance for the club.

Wes Foderingham returns in goal as one of four changes. Hamer starts after being passed fit while McBurnie is absent through injury.

Sheffield United: Foderingham, Trusty, Hamer, Archer, Brereton, Ahmedhodzic, Bogle, Osborn, Arblaster, Holgate, Brooks.

18:05

Man United team news: Eriksen and Antony start with Rashford absent through injury

Erik ten Hag makes two changes from the FA Cup semi-final with Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford missing out.

Christian Eriksen and Antony come into the starting line-up.

Rashford does not feature in the matchday squad due to injury, but McTominay is fit enough to be named on the bench.

Man United: Onana, Dalot, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Casemiro, Mainoo, Eriksen, Fernandes, Garnacho, Antony, Hojlund

17:57

Team news on the way

Team news from Old Trafford should be with us in the next few minutes.

Will be fascinating to see how Erik ten Hag and Chris Wilder react to their teams' respective performances at the weekend.

Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford were considered doubts for Man United.

While for the visitors, Oli McBurnie and Gustavo Hamer were question marks.

Hamer looks likely to be involved... given the Blades have posted a photo of him arriving at the ground.

17:53

Everton vs Liverpool LIVE

Old Trafford is hosting one of four Premier League matches this evening, with the Merseyside derby taking the prime billing.

Jurgen Klopp will lead his Liverpool side into a final derby clash with Everton at Goodison Park.

Could the Reds come unstuck as they bid to go level with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League?

My colleague Harry Bamforth is across the action on Merseyside, as well as providing updates from Wolves clash with Bouremouth and Crystal Palace and Newcastle.

Kobbie Mainoo's meteoric rise to be rewarded

Kobbie Mainoo has been one of the shining lights of a challenging season for Man United.

The teenager has made 25 appearances for United during his breakthrough season.

Mail Sport understands the England international is expected to be rewarded with a third new contract in as many years this summer.

You can read all the latest from Old Trafford in Mail Sport's latest Man United Confidential.

Sheffield United on brink of equalling Derby record

Without wishing to add further salt to Sheffield United wounds, the Blades are one goal away from equalling Derby’s record of 89 goals conceded in a 38 match Premier League season.

The all-time record is held by Swindon Town, who shipped 100 over a 42 match campaign.

Defintiely something Sheffield United will want to avoid breaking.

17:34

Wilder admits mood 'as negative as it has been' after Burnley defeat

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has admitted the mood has been 'as negative as it has been' in the aftermath of their 4-1 loss to Burnley on the weekend.

Wilder said the Blades had hopes of picking up points against Brentford and Burnley in their last two fixtures, but suffered 2-0 and 4-1 defeats.

The results have left Sheffield United 10 points from safety with five matches remaining.

The feel around the club and ground was very, very down and negative after that, possibly as negative as it has been. We had an opportunity to pick up some points and we haven’t and that has impacted our league position incredibly,' Wilder said.

We have to quickly get on. There are big decisions to make from a selection point of view. It is a disappointing feeling we have got at the moment and it can only be rectified by a positive result and performance at Old Trafford.

17:21

Blades aiming to stun Man United again

As mentioned by Nathan, Sheffield United were winners on their last visit to Old Trafford in January 2021.

Goals from Kean Bryan and Oliver Burke saw Sheffield United come away with all three points during one of the Covid-era matches at an empty Old Trafford.

Harry Maguire grabbed Man United’s goal on that occasion against his former side.

Kean Bryan and Oliver Burke saw Sheffield United come away with all three points during one of the Covid-era matches at an empty Old Trafford.

Harry Maguire grabbed Man United’s goal on that occasion against his former side.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side eventually finished as Premier League runners-up, while Sheffield United finished bottom. One of those things looks like being repeated...

17:14

A chill in the Old Trafford air

Nathan Salt, Mail Sport, at Old Trafford:

A lovely clear night here at Old Trafford, albeit with a bit of chill in the air. Can't tell if this is a good or bad omen - they don't seem to mean much when it comes to this team - but Manchester United's only defeat in the past 10 Premier League games against Sheffield United came the last time they met at Old Trafford, losing 2-1 in January 2021... Erik ten Hag simply CANNOT afford a repeat of that or it really is over and out for him

17:10

Red Devils arrive at Old Trafford

Man United squad have been pictured arriving at Old Trafford ahead of this 8pm kick off.

The likes of Antony, Rasmus Hojlund and Kobbie Mainoo are among those greeting fans outside before making their way into the stadium.

Looks like a nice afternoon in Manchester!

17:07

Erik ten Hag came out fighting this week... but it's time Man United did their talking on the pitch

As mentioned, Ten Hag went on the attack in his pre-match press conference on Tuesday when responding to suggestions the penalty shoot-out win over Coventry was 'embarrassing'.

'You made (asked) the question, "is it embarrassing?" No, the reaction from you was embarrassing. The comments are a disgrace,' Ten Hag said.

'Top football is about results. We made it to a final and we deserved it, not only by this game but also the other games. We lost control for 20 minutes, we also had bad luck for 3-2 and 3-3. We were very lucky in the end, clear.

'We were not happy with it. I can see the fans are not happy with it as well, but they get fed by opinions. But all over, what I heard is that the fans are very happy we are again in the FA Cup final.

It is a huge achievement. Twice in two years is magnificent. For me as a manager, five cup finals in four years.'

Mail Sport's Nathan Salt writes that while Ten Hag has come out fighting with the media this week, it is now time for his side to do so on the pitch.

Man United seek to quieten the noise

Has a victory in an FA Cup semi-final ever generated as much doom and gloom?

Man United's penalty shoot-out victory over Coventry on Sunday, via a collapse from a 3-0 lead, has provoked renewed focus around Erik ten Hag and the squad.

Ten Hag has come out fighting ahead of tonight's Premier League match with rock bottom Sheffield United.

The Dutchman branded the reaction to the FA Cup semi-final as 'a disgrace'.

Man United could certainly do with quietening the noise tonight with what should be a routine home assignment against a Sheffield United side seeming destined for the Championship.

Chris Wilder and the Blades will have other ideas, with visitors bidding to breath some life into their flickering survival hopes.

Stay with us for all the build-up and action from Old Trafford.
