Manchester United vs. Sheffield United - Football Match Report - January 27, 2021 - ESPN

Manchester United squandered a chance to reclaim top spot in the Premier League with a loss to Sheffield United on Wednesday.

The Old Trafford side had seen their position in the league overtaken by Manchester City on Tuesday. Looking to climb back atop the table, they were undone by goals from Kean Bryan and Oliver Burke, which came on either side of a Harry Maguire strike in the second half.

The loss keeps Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men on 40 points from 20 matches, one point behind City who also have a game in hand.

Sheffield United went in front after 24 minutes, when Bryan guided his header from the centre of the box past David de Gea after a corner kick.
