FT: Shock win for Sheffield at Old Trafford! The last place team in the table have just beaten the second placed team. It looked like Utd could have gotten a late equaliser but the Blades held out for the full 3 points.
90'

+4 minutes to play! Sheffield just need to run down the clock...
89'

Cavani kicks his man-marker in the face in an attempt to get a foot to a poorly aimed cross inside the area.
87'

Burke runs the ball down into the corner to try and waste time and Pogba puts it out for a throw.
85'

Luke Shaw has made Utd that much more dangerous on the left wing. Sheffield can't hold on forever under this pressure that's for certain.
83'

United are building pressure but haven't had many clear chances. The clock is ticking...

73'

BURKE SCORES. A shot from the edge of the area deflects off Bissaka but de Gea had already chosen his side! A lucky goal but it had a great set up around the area that United failed to defend.

63'

GOAL UNITED. Maguire breaks free from his marker and heads one down into the corner. The Keeper had no chance.

63'

This time Bruno sends it in to the wall and it goes out for a corner.
62'

United have another chance at that FK! Another foul in a very dangerous position.

Rashford was the one to hit it in the end but Ramsdale didn't have to work too hard to stop that one.
60'

Jagielka trips Martial 5 yards outside the box and Bruno steps up...

SHU corner is cleared for a throw. Danger averted for now.

Just seconds later Mcgoldrick misses a one on one that was then flagged offside.
55'

Mcgoldrick hits one with the outside of his foot on the corner of the area and comes within a hair of scoring a worldie!
51'

Wan-Bissaka picks up a rebound outside the area and fires one in but it deflects and goes wide.
48'

Greenwood sprints past the Blades' defence but connects poorly with the ball and sends it rolling wide.

United trying their best to break down his defence. Jagielka has been a wall so far!

In other news, Barca have gone 1-0 down to Rayo Vallecano....
46'

We are back with no changes over the break.
45'

HT: That's all for the first half as Sheff well and truly have Man Utd's number tonight! OGS has his work cut out for him to salvage this one., although he has the bench there to do it!

45'

+3 minutes to play. United have been well and truly stifled. It would not be surprising to see some subs made at half time.
41'

Bruno Fernandes pulls off an acrobatic cross from a long ball that almost finds Martial in the middle of the box. That would have been an impressive assist!

a Sheffield United

38'

United seem to be struggling to create against a Blades side that are defending admirably. Fernandes has been well and truly stifled.
34'

Norwood drills in a great pass down the centre to Sharp who wasn't expecting the ball and fumbles it under pressure. He missed the split second he had to turn and shoot.
33'

United have regained some of their composure that they started the match with and are attempting to play it out from the back.
27'

Sheffield have another one on one as Bissaka fumbles the ball backwards onto de Gea. The Spaniard came out to clear the danger.

22'

SHEFFIELD GO AHEAD FROM THE CORNER! Bryan is the one who got contact with the ball for the Blades. De Gea had come out to try clear the ball but should have stayed on his line!

20'

Pogba loses possession with a very questionable pass straight to the Sheff player in space. Now it's the Blades chance to try and create.
16'

Within one minute both teams have a counter blocked at the last second inside their respective boxes!
15'

Sheffield United look to have almost mentally capitulated already. The body language of their players paints a picture of the state of the club.
12'

That's the second long ball over the top that has landed at a United player's feet in the box, this time Martial was the one to waste the chance with a dodgy touch.
10'

Rashford hits it just wide of the far post, he had the keeper beat with the low shot from the edge of the area. United are all over this Sheffield defence.
7'

A long ball over the top somehow lands right at Bruno's feet in the box but a poor touch gave the ball away to the defenders.
4'

Martial still looks to be in a lot of pain on the sideline as play continues without him for the time being.

2'

Martial goes down after a clash with Jagielka and is in pain with his shoulder.
