Manchester United vs Sheffield United
Maguire lofts the ball down the right, with Fernandes getting to the byline before drilling a cutback back across. However, it goes over everyone and away from danger. He had clear options in the middle but didn’t get his head up!

CHANCE! Fernandes wins possession in the Blades half, coming forward with the ball before rolling a pass down the left to Garnacho. He pushes past Ahmedhodzic and gets a shot away from a tight angle, but Foderingham makes a good stop.

Hamer looks to slide a pass down the right, but Garnacho gets back to shield the ball out for a goal-kick.

Wheatley gets a loud applause as he puts Ahmedhodzic under pressure, forcing the centre-back to play the ball back to Foderingham. This should be a debut without pressure for the 18-year-old.

Hamer is over a free-kick from range just to the right outside the box. He whips his effort around the wall but just wide of the right post. It looked like Onana had that covered.
