Goals from Scott McTominay and Diogo Dalot secured all three points for Man Utd vs Sheffield United in the Premier League.
"There's only one Sir Bobby Charlton" the Manchester United supporters sang prior to kick-off. Diogo Dalot paid his own personal tribute.
With United homing in on victory, their supporters repeatedly paid their paean to the great Charlton hours after it was announced he had passed away at the age of 86. It has been a while since a United goal felt like it was coming, albeit against a downtrodden Sheffield United. Their first-half performance was in keeping with United's meek form this season but United took command of the contest after the pause.. Sofyan Amrabat smacked the upright yet a winning goal never felt elusive. United's expectant supporters sensed a winner well before Dalot whipped the ball in.
Some United players touted the win over Brentford as a turning point yet elements of this victory will concern Erik ten Hag. United were meek in 50-50s and their passing was so shoddy McTominay made Bruno Fernandes's bad pelt good with a third goal in two matches. His instructions fell on deaf ears. On 21 minutes, treatment for Andre Onana doubled as a tactical timeout for Ten Hag, who beckoned all 10 outfield players over. "Ten Hag, get in your box," a Yorkshireman bluntly shouted.
A number of United supporters outstretched their arms in disbelief at Rasmus Hojlund's removal for Anthony Martial. Hojlund is still without a Premier League goal and had three fine opportunities at 1-1. His callowness was glaring when he was caught on his heels for Marcus Rashford's volleyed cross when, had he been on his toes, Hojlund would have connected for a certain goal.
