Is Man Utd vs Sheffield United on TV? Red Devils continue top-four hunt after avoiding FA Cup tragedy – team news
MANCHESTER UNITED return to Premier League action TONIGHT with a home encounter against bottom-placed Sheffield United – and they’ll be hoping for a smoother match than last Sunday.
United supporters had their FA Cup final tickets ready for purchase when Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes put the English giants 3-0 up during the semi-final against Coventry.
But the Championship outfit showed why that competition is so special as three late goals saw them take the Red Devils to a penalty shoot-out.
However, Erik ten Hag’s men escaped embarrassment by holding their nerve to set up a second successive Manchester derby FA Cup final with City.
And they’ll be expected to build on that gruelling win with three points against a Sheffield United side who are staring relegation in the face.
Unless the Blades can pull off something special as they continue their fight for survival.
