Manchester United vs Sheffield United prediction 2024-04-24
After surviving Coventry City in the FA Cup semis, Manchester United will look to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they take on Sheffield United at their Old Trafford. The Red Devils have been involved in some high-scoring games of late and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach in Wednesday’s clash. Experienced midfielder Christian Eriksen is pushing for a start, while all Mason Mount, Jonny Evans, Scott McTominay, Luke Shaw, and Lisandro Martinez are sidelined with injuries.
The Blades, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Brentford (0-2) and Burnley (4-1) and seeing that Man Utd players are desperate to give fans some cheer following their under-par performance against the Sky Blues, home win should be considered. Jack Robinson is a major doubt, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Prediction: 3-1 (Manchester United)
