Throughout the remainder of the first half Manchester United were no where to be seen. In fact the only Man Utd player actually seen doing anything of note was goalkeeper David De Gea who seemed to be the home sides only saving grace who managed to hold off Sheffield’s on-surge of attacks.
The second half began with Man U trailing 1-0 to Sheffield.
