Manchester United are not in the best of moods

Although Erik ten Hag’s team advanced to the FA Cup final, it was with scratched ears. Even a 3-0 lead against second-placed Coventry was not enough for the Red Devils and they almost lost the game in injury time. In the last 4 Premier League games, they have picked up just 3 points from draws with Liverpool, Bournemouth and Brentford. Probably the most disappointing loss for Hague was at Stamford Bridge, where United were still leading 2-3 in the 95th minute but lost 4-3. Any loss before the end of the season can break the Dutch coach’s grip for good.

The team’s top scorer in the Premier League is captain Bruno Fernandes with 8 goals. Next are youngsters Alejandro Garnacho and Ramus Hojlund with 7 goals, and Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay have the same number. The team lacks a cannonballer who would be a difference maker, but this is evidenced by the number of goals scored, which is 47, such Arsenal scored 77 goals.

Sheffield take home a negative record

Sheffield’s current season has not been a good one at all, not only a very clear last place, but also a negative record. Sheffield will surpass Derby Country from the 2007/08 season, which conceded 89 goals. The Blades have now netted 88 and it is clear that they will score at least twice in their remaining 5 games. Oliver McBurnie will be the biggest threat for Manchester United, who has 6 goals in the current season.

Manchester United vs Sheffield odds

Betting tip – Both teams to score – NO

Manchester United’s defence is not one of the most solid, which will lead to at least one goal for Sheffield. The captain of the home team has scored a goal in the last 4 games and will want to confirm his great form against the last team of the Premier League. United’s games have been rich in penalties lately, so a penalty shouldn’t be missed this time either.
