Manchester United take on Sheffield United at Bramall Lane knowing a win will push Ole Gunnar Solskjaer‘s side into fifth in the Premier League.

United recovered from a disappointing defeat against Bournemouth with victory over Brighton prior to the international break as Solskjaer finally looks to steady his ship.

The Blades have enjoyed a fantastic start to their top-flight return, having already defeated Arsenal and held both Chelsea and Tottenham in their first 12 games, and currently sit one point ahead of United in eighth.

However, Sheffield will be without their first-choice goalkeeper Dean Henderson due to an agreement in his loan contract not allowing him to face his parent club.
