Confirmed Manchester United XI vs Sheffield United: Eriksen & Antony start

Manchester United welcome Sheffield United to Old Trafford in the Premier League tonight.

Erik ten Hag has named his team to take on the Blades as United look to get back to winning ways in the league, after slipping out of the race for top four.

However, the Reds progressed to the FA Cup final after beating Coventry City last Sunday, but they surrendered a 3-0 lead in the final 20 minutes and penalties were required.

All eyes will be on Ten Hag for the remainder of the season, with reports suggesting he is under mounting pressure to keep his job at Old Trafford beyond this campaign.

United are currently 16 points adrift of fourth-placed Aston Villa and have just six games remaining to close the gap. But that is unlikely and means our final push will be for a place in the Europa League.

Marcus Rashford is not in the squad tonight after picking up an injury in the FA Cup semi-final win at the weekend.

Andre Onana will start between the posts.

Our full-backs are the same from the win over Coventry, with Diogo Dalot on the right and Aaron Wan-Bissaka on the left. We’ve also got Harry Maguire and Casemiro at centre-back.

In midfield we see Kobbie Mainoo, Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes.

United’s front three consists of Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Antony.

Manchester United XI vs Sheffield United: Onana; Dalot, Maguire, Casemiro, Wan-Bissaka; Mainoo, Eriksen, Fernandes; Antony, Hojlund, Garnacho.

🔴 UNITED!
