Manchester United vs Sheffield Utd live stream: How to watch Premier League fixture online and on TV tonight


Manchester United welcome Sheffield United to Old Trafford this evening as the hosts look to regain top spot in the Premier League.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side were overtaken at the summit by rivals Man City yesterday after Pep Guardiola’s team thrashed relegation-threatened West Brom 5-0 at the Hawthorns, but the Red Devils can reverse the positions again with a win at home to strugglers Sheffield United.

Man United enter the fixture with four victories and one draw in their last five outings in the league and buoyed by a fourth-round FA Cup win against rivals Liverpool in their most recent game.
