Sheffield United vs Manchester United History

The first-ever meetings between these teams were back in the 1893/94 season. Sheffield United won home and away against Manchester United, then known as Newton Heath, in the old First Division.

They have clashed more than 90 times over the years, with the majority of those having come in the top flight of English football.

Each of these teams are historic in their own right, though perhaps one more than the other. The visitors are 20-time champions of England, with 13 of those coming in the Premier League era. The Red Devils have also lifted the FA Cup on 12 occasions, in addition to a number of European titles.

Sheffield United are four-time winners of the FA Cup and won the First Division title once in the late 19th century.

A number of players have represented both the clubs involved in this fixture, namely:

• Ex-Scotland international Phil Bardsley joined the Blades on loan from the Old Trafford Stadium club in the 2007/08 season.

• After graduating from the Sheffield United Academy, Harry Maguire had spells at Hull City and Leicester City before joining Man Utd in 2019, in a deal worth £80m.

• Dean Henderson rose through the junior teams at Man Utd. The England goalkeeper enjoyed loan spells in back-to-back seasons at Bramall Lane and he was a prominent figure for the Sheffield-based side during the 2019/20 EFL Championship and 2020/21 Premier League campaigns.

• Ex-Man Utd captain Steve Bruce took up a player-manager role at Bramall Lane for the 1998/99 season, in what was his first job in coaching. Another former Man Utd skipper, Bryan Robson was Sheffield Utd manager in 2007/08.

Sheffield United vs Manchester United Head-to-Head

This fixture was the first-ever match played in the Premier League, in its inaugural 1992/93 season. Brian Deane scored twice in a 2-1 win for the home side.

Sheffield Utd achieved promotion to the Premier League in 2005/06, following a 12-year hiatus away from the top flight. The following season, in this fixture, Wayne Rooney twice hit the target for the triumphant visitors.

In 2016, the clubs were paired together in the Third Round of the FA Cup. Rooney converted a penalty shortly before 90 minutes, and Man Utd went on to capture the title for a 12th time.

In the 2019/20 Premier League season, the first after Sheffield Utd had regained promotion, these teams played out a fascinating 3-3 draw at Bramall Lane. Oli McBurnie scored a last-minute equaliser to rescue a point for the Blades after they had surrendered a two-goal advantage.

The following season, it was once again a goals-galore affair in this fixture. The Red Devils came away with all 3 points, courtesy of a 3-2 win featuring goalscorers Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
