Man United vs Sheffield United prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash

After an eventful weekend at Wembley for Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-final, Premier League action resumes at Old Trafford. The Red Devils narrowly avoided defeat against Coventry City, thanks to a VAR decision that overturned a last-minute potential winner in extra-time, preventing Coventry City from becoming the first non-Premier League side to reach an FA Cup final in 16 years.

The Red Devils are the favourites going into this match at 1/3 with CopyBet while the Blades are 13/2 longshots and a draw is 24/5. The hosts have won eight of their 10 league meetings with Sheffield United though the only defeat was the last time Chris Wilder's side visited Old Trafford in January 2021.

Erik ten Hag's position as manager remains precarious, with speculation about his future intensifying. Odds from bookies Sky Bet suggest he is 6/1 to be the next manager to depart. Rumours hint that Sir Jim Ratcliffe might consider replacing the former Ajax head coach come summer. Nonetheless, securing an FA Cup victory could offer ten Hag a lifeline, though overcoming a strong Manchester City team will be a significant challenge.

Manchester United now shifts its attention back to the Premier League, facing Sheffield United, who are enduring one of the most challenging seasons in the league's history. With a meagre tally of 16 points, the Blades are on track for one of the lowest points finishes ever in the top flight. Furthermore, their defence has conceded 88 goals this season, ranking as the third poorest defensive record in Premier League history, only surpassed by Swindon Town (100 goals) and Derby County (89 goals).

Under 10.5 total corners - 29/20
