But just six minutes later Sheffield United were given a chance to level things up from 12 yards out.

An incoming cross was cut out by the outstretched arm of McTominay and after a long wait for VAR confirmation, referee Michael Oliver was forced to point to the spot.

Up stepped Oli McBurnie for The Blades who slotted his spot kick into the top corner well out of the reach of Andre Onana to make it 1-1.

It will have been a sigh of relief for the Sheffield United striker who was yet to score this season and had missed three of his last five penalties.

Man United now face battle at Bramall Lane to get back ahead as they look to hit form after the international break.

It’s been a tough start to the season for Erik ten Hag and his players who before kick off tonight were languishing in tenth place in the table.

And they’ll feel three points is a must against bottom of the league Sheffield United whop have only managed a single point all season.

The Red Devils need to gain some momentum before they head into tough fixtures against Man City and high flying Newcastle United in the coming weeks.
