Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
United have to turn the corner quickly after losing for the first time in 14 league matches. They travel to face Arsenal in their next Premier League clash on Saturday at the Emirates Stadium. The tough games continue for Sheffield United as they travel to Manchester City on the same day.
Sheffield United pull off the result of the season to date in the Premier League by stunning Manchester United with a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils equalised after Bryan's opener through Harry Maguire, but Burke's goal was the decisive moment. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men suffer a huge blow in their bid to compete for the title.

Manchester United have won their last seven home top-flight encounters with Sheffield United, a run that stretches back to August 1975.
Sheffield United beat Plymouth Argyle in their FA Cup fourth-round contest at the weekend. Wilder has opted to make four changes to his team. Brewster and Bogle drop to the bench, while Enda Stevens misses out due to injury. John Egan is suspended for the contest, which sees Jagielka start in the backline. Bryan gets the nod on the left flank, while Baldock slots in on the right. McGoldrick partners Sharp in the final third.
United overcame Liverpool in the fourth round of the FA Cup last time out. Solskjaer has made five changes to his team from the triumph over the Reds. De Gea returns between the posts, while there are two changes in the back four as Tuanzebe and Telles are rotated into the team to replace Lindelof and Shaw, who drop to the bench. Matic gets the nod ahead of McTominay in the defensive midfield role. Van de Beek and Cavani also make way in the final third for Fernandes and Martial.
SHEFFIELD UNITED SUBS: Lys Mousset, Max Lowe, Oliver Burke, Wes Foderingham, Jayden Bogle, Rhian Brewster.
SHEFFIELD UNITED (3-5-2): Aaron Ramsdale; Chris Basham, Phil Jagielka, Ethan Ampadu; George Baldock, John Lundstram, Oliver Norwood, John Fleck, Kean Bryan; David McGoldrick, Billy Sharp.
MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: Victor Lindelof, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata, Fred, Daniel James, Luke Shaw, Dean Henderson, Donny van de Beek, Scott McTominay.
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Axel Tuanzebe, Harry Maguire, Alex Telles; Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic; Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Martial; Marcus Rashford.
The Blades are at the other end of the spectrum after taking only five points from their opening 19 matches. Chris Wilder's men claimed a vital win over Newcastle United to earn their first victory of the campaign, but their hopes of survival in the Premier League look slim to say the least. They need to start picking up wins, even ones in unlikely places. A victory at Old Trafford could provide a turning point for the south Yorkshire outfit.
Manchester United were surpassed at the top of the Premier League by Manchester City, who thrashed West Brom on Tuesday. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have the perfect chance to respond and reclaim top spot against the bottom club Sheffield United tonight. The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last 13 Premier League matches and have won their last three games on the bounce at home. They cannot afford to take their foot off the gas.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Premier League clash between Manchester United and Sheffield United at Old Trafford.
