Bruno Fernandes, captain of Manchester United, spearheaded the team’s victory in a challenging encounter against Sheffield United at Old Trafford. Despite conceding the lead twice to the relegation-threatened visitors, Fernandes’ crucial penalty and a spectacular long-range goal propelled Manchester United to a hard-earned win. Additionally, his assist for Rasmus Hojlund’s goal marked his return to goal contributions for the first time since February, lifting his team to sixth place in the standings.
Despite the triumph, there were three Manchester United players whose performances fell short:
1. Aaron Wan-Bissaka:

His positional lapses contributed to Sheffield United’s second goal, as he failed to intercept the crucial cut-back pass. Alongside the defensive unit, Wan-Bissaka struggled with structural issues that led to both goals conceded by Sheffield United, making his performance underwhelming amidst the team’s challenges.
2. Diogo Dalot:
Despite an early notable save, Dalot encountered difficulties in his left-back position. He shared responsibility for both goals conceded by Sheffield United and missed a clear scoring opportunity himself, highlighting his struggles during the match.
3. Andre Onana:
A significant error in the first half saw Onana inadvertently pass the ball to Jayden Bogle, who capitalized on the chance to give Sheffield United the lead. Despite his efforts to save Ben Brereton Diaz’s strike, Onana’s performance was marred by his inability to prevent goals, further adding to his difficulties on the day.
