United booked their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, where they will also face Rovers, by beating Tottenham in midweek but must now park that euphoria and turn their full attentions back to league matters.
United travel over the Pennines seven points clear of third-placed Middlesbrough but have a number of availability concerns after illness struck the camp recently.
After such a quick turnaround, we tasked our man to pick the side he would send out to face Rovers – would you agree?
9. Tommy Doyle
Fresh from his best game in a United shirt against Spurs, he deservedly keeps his place at Ewood Park. Could be used alongside Norwood or allowed to roam further forward Photo: Paul Thomas
10. Sander Berge
A toss-up between him and James McAtee and Berge just gets the nod for me. Has not hit the heights he is capable of in recent weeks but on his day, has the ability to change games in a heartbeat. United need more of that from him Photo: Simon Bellis
11. Iliman Ndiaye
As if it needed any justification, just re-watch his goal against Spurs. A remarkable player who should be enjoyed in a United shirt while we still can Photo: Simon Bellis
12. Oli McBurnie
United’s top scorer was left on the bench against Spurs but should start at Ewood, with the Blades hoping his fearsome early-season partnership with Ndiaye can be resurrected Photo: Simon Bellis
