Both Manchester United and Sheffield United aren’t in good form in the Premier League.

Manchester United may have narrowly avoided a humiliating FA Cup upset over the weekend as they squeezed past Championship side Coventry. However, the Red Devils are currently embroiled in a significant crisis. United’s recent Premier League outing ended in a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, extending their winless streak to six matches and jeopardizing their chances of securing a European finish this season.

Sheffield United have endured a dismal return to the Premier League this season. Suffering a 4-1 defeat at home to fellow strugglers Burnley in their previous fixture, Chris Wilder’s side are seemingly destined for an immediate relegation back to the Championship. Bottom of the table and plagued by a series of unwanted records, the Blades have managed to gather just three points from their last nine league fixtures.

Players to watch

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)

Bruno consistently plays a vital role in generating scoring chances and exhibits a keen ability in finding the back of the net. His expertise in orchestrating set-pieces and executing accurate long-range shots firmly establishes him as an outstanding player. He has found the back of the net in his past four successive outings, totalling five goals. He has 14 goal contributions in the Premier League this season.

Ben Diaz (Sheffield United)

Diaz demonstrates composure while carrying the ball, and exhibits agility and nimble footwork to beat opponents and generate scoring opportunities. Since joining from Spanish club Villarreal in January, the Chilean international has bagged four goals. He will be the focal point of Wilder’s attacking strategy at Old Trafford.
