Manchester United had to come from behind twice to beat bottom side Sheffield United at home as late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hojlund gave Erik ten Hag’s side a 4-2 win.
The chaotic victory ended a four-game winless Premier League run for Man Utd to boost their hopes of European qualification as they moved above Newcastle into sixth.
The Blades – who remain 10 points adrift of safety and are on the brink of relegation – took a surprise 35th-minute lead after an Andre Onana mistake allowed Jayden Bogle to score following the Man Utd goalkeeper’s poor misplaced pass to Diogo Dalot.
But seven minutes later Harry Maguire headed in to level against his former club, who retook the lead shortly after half-time as Ben Brereton Diaz fired home from close range (50).
However, the visitors’ lead lasted just 11 minutes as Fernandes equalised from the penalty spot before he fired in a stunning strike from distance to give Man Utd a 3-2 lead in the 81st minute.
