Diogo Dalot’s curler for Manchester United secured a win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane to mark the passing of legendary former player Sir Bobby Charlton.
Bottom club Sheffield United were the better team in the opening stages and wasted an early chance to open the scoring when Oli McBurnie shot straight at Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana.
But it was the visitors who went ahead against the run of play in the 28th minute when McTominay controlled the ball on his chest and found the bottom corner from 12 yards out.

But the lead lasted just six minutes as McBurnie scored from the penalty spot after McTominay handled James McAtee’s cross.
United manager Erik ten Hag made three changes shortly after the hour mark, bringing on Anthony Martial, Alejandro Garnacho and Christian Eriksen in a desperate search for a winner.
It was defender Diogo Dalot who produced the moment of magic to win the game in the 77th minute.
