Harry Maguire and Rasmus Højlund were also on target as Manchester United recovered twice from being behind to win 4-2 at Old Trafford
With 81 minutes gone Bruno Fernandes collected a Kobbie Mainoo pass and with a swish of his left foot fired a laser past Wes Foderingham andThis was answered emphatically by Rasmus Højlund, whose strike as the end of regulation time neared gave Erik ten Hag’s team security and was the best way to close before a watching Jason Wilcox, the new technical director, who will lead the football department until Dan Ashworth joins from Newcastle.
Ten Hag’s men began the hunt for a first three points in six weeks without the injured Marcus Rashford and Diogo Dalot tingling Foderingham’s fingers with a 20-yard sighter.the Dutchman stressed how they do the difficult thing expertly: put themselves in a winning position. The problem, of course, is not being able to close the deal, a function of being far too open.
A prevailing criticism of Ten Hag is that his side show scant pattern of play. Not tonight. Camped inside the visitor’s half, United’s ball retention weaved effective patterns, one move accumulating passes before Alejandro Garnacho sped into the area and blazed at goal, Foderingham diving left and saving smartly.
The emotion lasted seven minutes as United levelled with the sweetest of equalisers: Garnacho dinked in from the left and Maguire stooped and flicked a header that was dainty in touch and lethal in aim as he beat Foderingham to his left.Sheffield United’s opener came as Manchester United enjoyed 80% of the ball. Their second came with the mark at 79, five minutes into the second half, and was woeful from the home team.
