    Beautiful day for a football match.

    AMAZING!!!!

    So what do we think the score will be then? Belay_tadess was quick with his prediction and said that United will win 3-1.
  • PRVW
    Manchester United are currently 5th in the league, while Sheffield United are 8th. 2 points separate the sides and if City are banned from next season's UCL then 8th will make Europe. That is of course if the FA Cup winners already make Europe.
  • PRVW
    The last match between these sides ended in a 3-3 draw. United haven't lost to Sheffield United since 1993. The Blades haven't beaten the Red Devils in the league since 1992. Sheffield United haven't won at Old Trafford since 1973.
  • PRVW
    Perhaps the big news is that Pogba and Bruno Fernandes both start together for the first time. United have some team with Rashford also playing. I'm very intrigued to see how they for on especially as Sheffield United lost 3-0 to Newcastle in their last match.
  • PRVW
    Sheffield United XI: Moore, Basham, Robinson, Jagielka, Baldock, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Stevens, McGoldrick, Mousset.
  • PRVW
    Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Pogba, Matic, Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford, Martial.
