It's all over! Sheffield United have picked up only their second win of the campaign to stun Manchester United at Old Trafford. It wasn't pretty at times but the Blades put a real shift in and have pulled off the shock of the season. It finishes Manchester United 1, Sheffield United 2!
Cross after cross rains into the Sheffield United box, but the visitors hold firm and time is almost up...
Manchester United try to play their way through the Sheffield defence, but everyone is back in their own third and it’s a wall of pink shirts facing the home side.
A floated cross is a tempter for Maguire, but Ramsdale does well to come out and claim it, and the Sheffield stopper then falls to the ground to eek out a few more seconds. This would be such an extraordinary win for the Blades.
There will be four minutes of added time…
Cavani tries to conjure something as the ball ricochets around the Sheffield United box, but he’s penalised for a high boot and the visitors will take this chance to soak up a bit of time.
A neat turn by Rashford puts the England international into space in midfield, but there are bizarrely few options ahead of him and his pass is cut out.
Surely there’s going to be at least one more decent chance for Manchester United? They are huffing and puffing, but the pink-shirted Sheffield defence is holding firm.
Can Manchester United get back into this? Time is ticking away far too quickly for the home side's liking...

D. van de Beek
Off
A. Tuanzebe
It's a very aggressive double-change from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as he tries to rescue this game.

L. Shaw
Off
A. Telles
Cavani can't quite hook a tricky effort on target and his shot flies harmlessly wide.
There's another change up top for Sheffield United. If this sub has anything like the impact of the last one then the Blades will be in dreamland!

R. Brewster
Off
D. McGoldrick
A massive deflection on a Telles cross sends the ball looping onto the bar. Ramsdale wasn’t getting anywhere near that and the keeper breathes a sigh of relief.
That was shambolic defending from Manchester United and dragged themselves right back into trouble here!
GOOOAALLL!!! What on earth were Manchester United doing?! They make a complete mess of clearing a low cross into the box and then fail to shut down Oliver Burke in the box twice in quick succession. He shanks his first shot but takes full advantage with the second, sending a shot past De Gea via a huge deflection off Tuanzebe. 2-1!
Goal
O. Burke
Billy Sharp has put in a real shift and his race is run.

B. Sharp
Ampadu wins the ball on the edge of his own box and almost runs the entire length of the pitch, only for Fernandes, who had tracked him all the way, to make a vital challenge. You don’t see that sort of run every day, it was a bit like a budget-version of the Son goal that won the 2020 Puskas Award.
Solskjaer makes the change he was planning before the goal, with Cavani replacing the subdued Greenwood.
