Sheffield United vs Manchester United preview
It’s back to the grind for Sheffield United and Manchester United.
The pair return from the international break in desperate need of morale-boosting victories after a fairly difficult start to the 2023-24 campaign.
There’s no doubting it’s been a tougher start for the hosts, who sit rock-bottom of the division with just a single point from their opening eight matches.
The Blades are favourites for relegation and manager Paul Heckingbottom is favourite in the Sack Race having returned one draw and seven defeats.
And a clash with Manchester United isn’t exactly the perfect antidote having lost eight of their last ten meetings in all competitions.
But it’s not exactly been all sunshine and roses for Erik ten Hag’s side. They sit 10th in the division having endured their worst start to a Premier League campaign since 1989.
They’ve lost four of their opening eight games, and were extremely fortunate not to have lost five thanks to Scott McTominay’s unbelievable stoppage-time brace against Brentford before the international break.

Sheffield United vs Manchester United betting tips
Result and BTTS…
Both teams should get on the scoresheet in Sheffield on Saturday. The Blades are rock-bottom of the division with the worst defence in the Premier League. They’ve conceded 22 goals in eight matches and haven’t registered a clean sheet in any of those.
The story isn’t as severe for the visitors, but Manchester United aren’t exactly rolling in clean sheets having managed just two in the league this season.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side may have scored just six goals in the Premier League, but they might just fancy their chances of nicking one against a charitable United backline under the lights.
United will hope to grab more than one, especially considering that no PL side can even come close to matching Sheffield United’s 66 shots on target conceded.

Like a Rash…
Marcus Rashford will have enjoyed that confidence-boosting goal and win with England during the international break.
And that could spark a revival from the attacker, who scored a bucket load following a productive World Cup in Qatar last year.
He shoots a lot. A whole lot. He’s fired off 31 attempts in eight games, at an average of a shot every 21 minutes. Only Erling Haaland has had more attempts this season.

Booked…
The majority of Sheffield United’s fouls have been down their right channel, and that tally could rise with Rashford flying down the wing on Saturday.
That will likely mean a busy evening for Jayden Bogle and right centre-back Anel Ahmedhodzic, who’ve conceded 17 fouls between them this season. Ahmedhodzic has three bookings, while Bogle has avoided the referee’s notebook for now.
Our tip: Anel Ahmedhodzic to be booked at 21/10 with Paddy Power – CLAIM HEREOur tip: Jayden Bogle to be booked at 5/2 with Paddy Power – CLAIM HERE
