Man Utd recorded consecutive Premier League wins for the first time this season but Erik ten Hag saw a familiar problem resurface.
The travelling Manchester United fans packed into the Bramall Lane away end deserved their winner last night, having grown louder and stronger in mourning the passing of an icon.
They had been second best up until that point, put on the back foot by Paul Heckingbottom's decision to adopt a back-four. Sheffield United dominated the opening stages and confidence inside Bramall Lane was growing, but as McTominay's scuffed volley rippled the net, United were expected to go on and control the game.
In the 3-1 defeat at Arsenal before the first international break, Marcus Rashford's opener was cancelled out by Martin Odegaard inside 60 seconds. In a chaotic second half at Bayern Munich, the German side regained their two-goal advantage twice, following goals from Rasmus Hojlund and Casemiro. United do not seem to have the ability to take the sting out of a game when they go ahead, and that must fall on Ten Hag. The players don't appear to have a clear plan to execute and either continue to go through the gears and expose themselves, or panic and give away possession.
