Scott McTominay's late show stopped the rot for Manchester United as they claimed a dramatic 2-1 win over Brentford just before the international break.
Erik ten Hag will be keen to string some results together, especially as off-field uncertainty continues in the form of the Glazer's protracted process of selling a stake in the 20-time English champions. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is expected to buy a minority shareholding but the deal has been stalled.
A trip to Sheffield United, still without a win on their Premier League return, would appear to represent a straightforward assignment.
However, in their previous top-flight meeting, the Blades stole a 2-1 win at Old Trafford in January 2021 — the sort of setback that occurs far too frequently for the modern Manchester United.
It means Saturday's match at Bramall Lane is perhaps more difficult to predict that might be expected. Here is how you can watch the action where you are.
