United always make it easy for people to bash them. Too many individual errors. Sometimes I see little zeal and desire from them. They know when to be annoying and when to turn up and be Pro Barcelona.
Again, Manchester United allowed Sheffield to open the scoring with the blunder from Dean Henderson, who returned to the place he was on loan all through last season. United are not so good with playing and building play from the back but then always find themselves doing it while making terrible decisions.
One of those terrible decision led to the opening goal from Sheffield. It was a smart play, quick closing down that made McGoldrick hammer the goal in with such precision, accuracy and power.
Another come back opportunity presented itself to United and that delightful pass from Lindelof found Rashford who took just a touch before firing home the equalizer on the second touch.
Not too long after, another delightful pass from Pogba found Martial who also went round the goalkeeper to slot home the second goal of the night to complete the comeback.
United were not done, as a beautiful interplay which started from Pogba led to the third. It was exquisitely done to perfection as the referee played advantage after Greenwood was fouled from a sweet deft touch from Fernandes. Fernandes got in on the act again, gave Martial, he picked it up, nudged it forward and Rashford latched on to it to make it three. The goalkeeper should have done better there too.
United dominated proceedings but with the substitutions in play from the gaffer, taking off Martial for McTominay. Sheffield fancied another chance since United were contended to sit back. It paid off as Sheffield got another and United were left to face pressure for the 4 added minutes but they came out with the win.
That is 6 away wins for United where they scored 3 goals or more -
Brighton v United - 2:3
Newcastle v United - 1:4
Everton v United - 1:3
Southampton v United - 2:3
West Ham v United - 1:3 and now
Sheffield United v United - 2-3
But 10 straight away wins overall.
They are showing title credentials but as we all know, they can be unpredictable sometimes and they need to stop putting themselves in a difficult spot for a comeback.
United moved up to 6th with a game in hand with Burnley. Should they win that, they'd be second on the table.
Thank you for your time.
