MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
- Manchester United’s only defeat in the past 10 Premier League meetings came the last time this fixture was played at Old Trafford, losing 2-1 in January 2021.
- The Blades can win back-to-back competitive away fixtures versus the Red Devils for the first time since two top-flight victories in 1973.
Manchester United
- United’s only victory in their past seven Premier League games was at home to Everton in March (D3, L3).
- Erik ten Hag’s side could go five league matches without a win for the first time since 2019.
- The Red Devils have conceded 74 goals in all competitions this season, their most in any campaign for 45 years.
- They have faced 20 or more shots in each of their last six Premier League matches. Since such data was first recorded in 2003-04, only Blackpool have been on a longer such run in the division, spanning eight fixtures.
- Bruno Fernandes has five goals in his last five league appearances, scoring in each of his last three.
Sheffield United
- Sheffield United’s sole victory in 16 league games was 3-1 away at Luton Town in February (D3, L12).
- The Blades have conceded 88 goals in the Premier League, leaving them just one behind Derby’s record of 89 in a 38-match season.
- Gustavo Hamer needs one more goal to become the third Sheffield United player to register five goals and five assists in a Premier League campaign, emulating Brian Deane and Dane Whitehouse.
- Oli McBurnie has failed to score in his last 31 Premier League away appearances.
- However, McBurnie could become the first Sheffield United player to score in both top-flight fixtures against Manchester United in a season since Derek Pace in 1961-62.
