Diminutive Manchester United serve up dismal record for blunt Blades

MANCHESTER UNITED survived a late Sheffield United comeback to win 3-2 and secure a sixth away Premier League victory at Bramall Lane.

They were phenomenal going forward throughout, proving too much for their hosts, who have now recorded the worst ever top-flight start to a season in English football, having taken just one point and scored seven goals from 13 games.

Dean Henderson, in for David de Gea, gifted the club he spent the previous two seasons with on loan the opening goal after just five minutes. Another former Blade, Harry Maguire, played a backpass and he was dispossessed by Ollie Burke. The ball fell to David McGoldrick, who tapped into the empty net.
