Thursday Briefing: What Fred wants to see from Man Utd

WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY?

It’s matchday for the Reds as we prepare to travel to Bramall Lane to take on Sheffield United in tonight’s 20:00 GMT kick-off. Chris Wilder’s team have endured a difficult campaign thus far and currently sit bottom of the table, thanks to just one point from 12 games.

United have the chance to edge within a few points of the leading teams at the Premier League summit with a victory, and we’ll be looking to maintain our superb away form.

The Blades may have struggled this season but no-one will forget the tough time they gave us in the corresponding fixture last term, when we came from 2-0 down to take a 3-2 lead, only for Oli McBurnie to net an injury-time leveller for the hosts. Last time out against Sheffield United, we were 3-0 winners at Old Trafford, back in June, thanks to an Anthony Martial hat-trick.

Earlier in the day, MUTV are showing the Under-18s’ home clash with Leeds United live, with kick-off at 11:30 GMT.
