Sheffield United stunned title-chasing Manchester United on Wednesday night, January 27, beating the Red Devils 2-1.

It’s the first time since 1973 that Sheffield will beat United at Old Trafford.

United brought in Luke Shaw, and Edison Cavani to provide more attacking options but Sheffield manager, Chris Wilder’s substitute, Oliver Burke,  paid off as he struck the winner via a big deflection off Axel Tuanzebe.

The result now leaves United in the second spot, a point behind table-topping Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
