Your support makes all the difference.Manchester United travel to Sheffield United tonight as Erik ten Hag’s side look to improve their early season form in the Premier League.
Scott McTominay’s late show rescued a vital victory against Brentford before the international break but time will tell whether it simply papered over the cracks.
Ten Hag’s side had made their worst ever start to a Premier League campaign with four defeats from their opening eight games - worryingly, the Red Devils have also lost their next league fixture after each of their previous three Premier League wins so far this season.
However, a visit to the Premier League’s bottom side could be what they need, as Sheffield United will return to Bramall Lane for the first time since losing 8-0 at home to Newcastle. Paul Heckingbottom’s side have just one point from their opening eight league fixtures.
