Sheffield United 2-3 Manchester United: Blades set record for worst EVER start to an English top flight season as Marcus Rashford's brace and Anthony Martial make amends for Dean Henderson's early howler on Bramall Lane return

Daily Mail | December 17, 2020

This is turning in to quite an extraordinary season for Manchester United. A step away from crisis one week and now one win away from second place in the Premier League the next.

What path Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team take next will be intriguing to discover.

Here, against winless and luckless Sheffield United, they were true to recent form. Behind early to a David McGoldrick goal after a shocking howler from goalkeeper Dean Henderson, they were slow, careless and in danger.

Marcus Rashford helped Manchester United pull off the all-important win by hitting a brace

The England striker finished off a sublime team move in the second half to make the score 3-1

Sheffield United players were left dejected on the floor after letting their early lead slip

A late David McGoldrick header set up a thrilling finish with the scoreline poised at 3-2

Lindelof had won the corner in the air but could only head the ball onto McGoldrick's head

The striker then unknowingly converted the effort and left United scrambling in the late stages

But yet again in a Premier League away game they rallied and once Marcus Rashford drove them back on level terms quite superbly just after the half hour they hit upon one of those periods of attacking during which they can look quite unplayable.
