Man United vs Sheffield United lineups, team news

Ten Hag is still restricted by a mammoth injury list ahead of the final few games of the Premier League season with Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane amongst seven first team players ruled out.

Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford will both be assessed ahead of kickoff after being forced off against Coventry.

Man United predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — Dalot, Maguire, Kambwala, Wan-Bissaka — Mainoo, Casemiro — Garnacho, Eriksen, Fernandes — Hojlund.

Man United subs (9): TBC

Blades boss Chris Wilder has admitted his team are preparing for relegation in the coming weeks as they currently sit 10 points adrift of Premier League safety. His injury list is unchanged with veteran defender Jack Robinson still sidelined with a foot issue.

Sheffield United predicted XI (3-5-2 right to left): Grbic (GK) — Holgate, Ahmedhodzic, Trusty — Bogle, Hamer, Norwood, Arblaster, Osborn — McBurnie, Brereton Diaz.

Sheffield United subs (9): TBC

Man United vs Sheffield United prediction

Man United will have their focus on an FA Cup final date with Manchester City next month but they are still battling with Newcastle over sixth spot and a place in next season's UEFA Europa League.

Despite winning just one of their last seven Premier League games, Man United should have enough to get three points here, against a Sheffield United with just one league win in 2024.

Prediction: Man United 3-1 Sheffield United
