Full-time match stats
These are the full-time match stats from Sheffield United vs Manchester United.
It was a close game without a doubt, and there were chances for both sides to take all three points, but Manchester United were more clinical at the end of the day.
It was that little bit of quality that made the difference for the Red Devils, this time in the form of a beautiful bending effort from Diogo Dalot.
The match stats from Sheffield United vs Manchester United Man of the Match
The SunSport man of the match tonight goes to Harry Maguire.
He did not have an easy night up against the spritely Cameron Archer and difficult Oli McBurnie, but coped really well at the back.
His passing range was superb, he was excellent in his aerial duels, and now has 15 wins in the last 16 games in which he has started.
Fantastic performance tonight, well done Harry.

Harry Maguire pays tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton
Harry Maguire has paid tribute to Sir Bobby Charton in his post match interview with Sky Sports.
“He’s a legend of this club, he’s a legend of football.”
“Sir Bobby came into the changing room a lot and he lit the place up with his aura.”
“We’re delighted to win the game tonight but this is more than football.”
“The world will miss him, he was an amazing footballer but also an amazing person.”
That was for you, Sir Bobby Charlton
On a sad day for Manchester United, they have done one of their greatest ever players proud with a win away from home.
A curling effort from Diogo Dalot from range was the perfect way to remember one of England’s finest.
Erik ten Hag said before the game that they wanted to win this one for him, and they did so in the end.
Rest easy, Sir Bobby Charlton.

Can they make it three?
No.

90+2. How has he missed that?
Anthony Martial puts the ball on a plate for Alejandro Garnacho, who looks as though he has to score.
He puts it wide, and then the flag goes up for offside anyway.

78. KING DALOT STRIKES!
I don’t believe my eyes!
That is a sensational strike from Diogo Dalot!
The ball comes out to him on the edge of the box and he BENDS a shot into the top right corner!
You would expect Foderingham to do better as he gets a hand on it, but there is no stopping that. What a finish.

76. A failure from Brewster and Archer to hold up the ball when it gets to them means Man United are able to just keep coming back at the blades here.

74. Great possession here from the Red Devils.
Eriksen is setting the tempo in this one now since his introduction, but Sheffield United are standing firm thus far.

72. Late challenge there from Rhian Brewster on Amrabat in midfield.
Eriksen picks up the ball on the left hand side of midfield and tries to drive forward for United.
There is a Sheffield United player in the way however and play breaks down.
Sure enough, Man Utd win it back and will come forth again now.

70. Hojlund and McTominay being replaced has seen Bruno Fernandes push further up the field to join Anthony Martial.
It is looking like it could be a nervy final twenty minutes for Manchester United as they search for a winner.

67. AMRABAT HITS THE BAR!
What a goal that would have been, in only his second game.
The Moroccan international hits a hell of a strike from distance and it rattles the upright!

58. Huge chance for Marcus Rashford!
It is played into the English forward on the left side of goal, but his side footed effort is just inches wide of the post.
SO close…
