Fernandes stars as Man Utd earn thrilling fightback win over Sheff Utd

Manchester United moved up to sixth in the Premier League table after another madcap victory, this time against the bottom club Sheffield United at Old Trafford.

The hosts went behind twice, despite dominating the game throughout, before Bruno Fernandes cleaned up the mess through a combination of anger and individual brilliance.

Jayden Bogle put Sheffield United ahead after a loose pass from Andre Onana, but Harry Maguire’s accomplished header brought the home side level at half-time.

Ben Brereton’s crisp finish made it 2-1, at which point Fernandes decided he’d had enough. He smashed home a penalty after a foul on Maguire, then larruped a superb goal with his left foot to put Man Utd ahead for the first time.
