We simulated Sheffield United vs Manchester United to predict Premier League score

Manchester United play away from home for the first time in almost a month when they take on Sheffield United in the Premier League on Saturday.

Scott McTominay was the hero in United's last outing before the international break, with the Scotsman coming off the bench to score two late goals and secure a 2-1 win against Brentford. It was a vital three points for Erik ten Hag's side, and the Dutchman will be hoping his side can continue their winning ways against Sheffield United.

The Blades have had a tough start to the season, sitting bottom of the Premier League table with just one point from their first eight games. Rasmus Hojlund is expected to be fit for United, despite the striker coming off injured for Denmark during the international break.

We then predict United could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Reguilon; Amrabat, Mount, Fernandes; Antony, Hojlund, Rashford.

A nervy start to the game saw the hosts miss some glorious chances, the best coming in the 20th minute when Ollie McBurnie fired a low cross over the bar from six yards out. United were let off by the Blades' poor finishing, but they
