Despite their strong head-to-head record, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men will not be taking this match lightly given both sides’ recent form.

The Blades are a point ahead of their illustrious opponents and sitting fifth in the table, thanks largely to a defence that has conceded just nine times in 12 games - the second best record in the division.

With three clean sheets to their name in their last five matches and having not let in more than one goal in nine, they will certainly back themselves to contain an attack that has failed to score in three of their previous four away league games.

Considering Manchester United has only conceded six times in the last nine games themselves, odds of 10/11 (1.91) are well worth backing on no more than one side finding the net for Sheffield United’s sixth consecutive home match.
