A long-range strike from Diogo Dalot helped Manchester United earn a 2-1 win at Sheffield United
to channel the spirit of Sir Bobby Charlton under the Bramall Lane lights, and then helped his team to a hard-fought Premier League victory for the second time in succession. After McTominay’s volleyed opener, Diogo Dalot delivered a delicious strike to see Erik ten Hag’s side just over the line.
Both sides went into the international break in poor form and decimated by defensive injuries. The absences of Chris Basham and John Egan burned a borehole in the hosts’ defence – which had been porous enough anyway, having– while the game came too soon for the visitors’ Raphaël Varane and Sergio Reguilón, the former only fit enough for the bench.
Sheffield United sought an early dagger to the heart of Ten Hag’s team. Cameron Archer and Oli McBurnie unfurled shots at André Onana’s goal in the opening 10 minutes, but both were flagged offside. An early pattern had been established, though, and it was with Paul Heckingbottom’s men on top.
And then, with a puff of smoke, McTominay appeared, as he tends to do. Crashing into bodies, anticipating his own miscued header, outmuscling Oliver Norwood and volleying low into the corner.
