Sheffield United vs Man Utd: Red Devils look to build on late Brentford win against Prem new boys – stream, TV, teams

MANCHESTER UNITED return from the international break in good spirits after a late Brentford win – but they now switch their attention to Premier League new boys Sheffield United.

Boos rang around Old Trafford when Mathias Jensen put the Bees in front as United were staring down the barrel of a third consecutive defeat.

But Scott McTominay rescued the points for the Red Devils by scoring a stoppage-time double after coming off the bench.

And with the wind in their sails, Erik ten Hag’s side will be expected to brush aside the Blades who go into this match off the back of a 3-1 defeat to Fulham.

Furthermore, the hosts are rock bottom of the league having just secured one point in their first eight games.

What is the team news?

Paul Heckingbottom will continue to deal with a lengthy list of absentees and Chris Basham’s horrific ankle injury did not help the Sheffield United boss’ woes.

Ben Osborn (groin), John Egan (ankle), Tom Davies (muscle), Daniel Jebbison (muscle), Rhy Norrington-Davies (hamstring), Max Lowe (ankle), William Osula (knock) and George Baldock are all doubts for this huge encounter.

Elsewhere, Erik ten Hag has a few injury issues of his own as this match has come too soon for Lisandro Martinez (foot), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (hamstring), Amad Diallo (knee), Kobbie Mainoo (ankle), Tyrell Malacia (muscle) and Luke Shaw (muscle).

However, the United boss will be delighted to welcome the potential return of Raphael Varane and Sergio Reguilon.

But there is still no confirmation on when Jadon Sancho will play for the Red Devils again.

Sheffield United to win 6/1
