Manchester United and last in the standings Sheffield United play at result 0:0 in a postponed match from the 29th round of the English Premier League. You can watch the match at the Old Trafford stadium live on DIEMA SPORTas well as online on the platform PLAY DIEMA XTRA.
The Red Devils reached their second consecutive FA Cup final on Sunday, but it was hard to find a United supporter who was particularly enamored with the way they did it. Erik ten Hag’s side, who took a 3-0 lead against Coventry City, were unlucky to see off the second division side at Wembley on penalties and were heavily criticized by the domestic media and supporters.
And with the Premier League unlikely to have five teams competing in the Champions League next season, their energies will be focused on winning the FA Cup trophy. United are currently 16 points adrift of fourth-placed Aston Villa, having played two games less.
However, they will be expected to beat a Sheffield United side who have not won since February 10 and are likely to return to the Championship next season. Back-to-back defeats to Brentford and Burnley have left Chris Wilder’s side ten points adrift of safety with five games to go in the campaign.

Before 30 seconds had passed Manchester United had a chance to open the scoring when Diogo Dalot was given a great distance from the visitors’ goal but decided to shoot and did so brilliantly, the ball going just under the bar for Wesley Fodaringham who managed to knock the ball over the crossbar for a corner.
