Comments:

League position: 2nd Manchester United had now lost four of their ten home games so far in this Premier League season; their most in a season in the division since 2013-14 (seven). United had now conceded the opening goal in ten of their 20 games so far in this Premier League season (won seven, lost three). This was the first time that the Red Devils had lost a home game in the Premier League against a team that started the game at the bottom of the table since the visit of West Bromwich Albion on 15 April 2018.

Comments:

League position: 20th Sheffield United had now won two of their 20 games so far in this Premier League season. It was their first away win in the division since their visit to Crystal Palace on 1 February 2020; longer than any other current Premier League team. The Blades had now scored two or more goals in a game in two of their last 23 games in the Premier League; both against Manchester United. Kean Bryan's goal was his first for United. He was born in Manchester and began his career at Manchester City. Sheffield United named only six of a possible nine substitutes.
