Town saw a first-half goal disallowed when Jon Russell’s header found its way past Wes Foderingham, while the Blades hit the post later in the game through John Fleck.
Oli McBurnie enjoyed a few chances on his return to the side, as the Blades moved seventh in the table ahead of the day’s 3pm kick-off.
Here’s how our man rated the Blades’ players.

5. Jack Robinson 6
Kept his place despite Ben Davies' return to the United squad and did well again, calmly shepherding the ball away from safety on a few occasions and putting his foot in when needed Photo: Leila Coker
6. George Baldock 5.5
Lined up again on the left of defence after his impressive display against West Brom in midweek, and again let no-one down. But there were moments when United could have done with a left-footer out there as Baldock was forced to check back onto his right before crossing Photo: Simon Bellis
7. John Fleck 5.5
Back in the XI in place of Hourihane, he was close to scoring a late winner when his shot from a short corner smashed into the post, and then hit the legs of 'keeper Nicholls on the way back before bouncing wide again. Picked up a fair booking late on for bringing down Holmes as he broke away Photo: Simon Bellis
8. Sander Berge 5.5
Recalled to the starting line-up at Norwood's expense, Berge tested Nicholls' handling with a well-struck second-half shot that the Town goalkeeper palmed to safety Photo: Isaac Parkin
