Man United return to action following the international break on Saturday evening, as the Red Devils chase a second straight win. Sheffield United will have the home field advantage, as they go in search of their first win of the 2023-24 Premier League season.
Premier League Preview
It has been a busy week off the field for Man United during the international break, as the takeover drama took another turn. However, the attention switches back to on-field matters at Bramall Lane on Saturday, as the Red Devils look for an important victory, which would move them closer to the European spots in the standings.
United’s performances so far this term have been below their best, but they at least ended a two-game losing run across all competitions before the international break by landing a 2-1 home win over Brentford. The Red Devils were extremely fortunate to claim maximum points in that fixture, as both goals from Scott McTominay were scored deep into second-half injury time.
Sheffield United will be the latest side looking to pose questions of the Red Devils, as the Blades go in search of their first league win this term. Paul Heckingbottom’s side have lost seven of their opening eight matches this season, and they have conceded a league-high of 22 goals.
The Blades come into this match after losing each of their previous four matches, and a victory will not be enough to lift them out of the bottom three places. Before the international break, Sheffield United’s winless start to the season continued as they were easily beaten 3-1 by Fulham. The Blades will need to show more at both ends of the field against the Red Devils on Saturday evening.
Sheffield Utd vs Man Utd Head to Head
Sheffield United landed a 2-1 win in their previous match against the Red Devils in January 2021 at Old Trafford. That success ended a run of three victories in four matches for United. That includes a 3-2 win in this exact fixture in the 2020-21 season.
Sheffield Utd vs Man Utd Prediction
Sheffield United will need to defend much better than they have in recent fixtures if they are to take anything out of this game. However, United will welcome back some key stars for this showdown, meaning that we expect the Red Devils to land maximum points on the road.
