But in the Sheffield suburb of Greenhill, fans are celebrating the promotion in a more low-key way.
This comes after one cheeky fan renamed Sharpe Avenue ‘Billy Sharp Avenue,’ in honour of the United striker, and replaced the ‘e’ at the end of Sharpe with a sticker displaying the club’s badge.

“Lots of people have been stopping throughout today to take photos,” said Emma.
Emma’s 12-year-old son, Joseph, is a life-long fan, and his 23-month-old cousin, Oscar, will soon become the latest member of the family to visit Bramall Lane.
