Manchester United welcomed Sheffield United at Old Trafford earlier tonight as they hoped to earn a victory in the Premier League. The Red Devils made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 35th minute when Jayden Bogle found the back of the net. However, Harry Maguire equalised for the home team just seven minutes later as both sides went into the half-time break with a 1-1 scoreline.
Ben Brereton Diaz scored for the visitors in the 50th minute but Bruno Fernandes equalised for the Mancunian club from the penalty spot in the 61st minute. Fernandes scored again in the 81st minute before Rasmus Hojlund killed the game off just four minutes later. The contest ended with Man United earning a hard-fought 4-2 at home.
