Chris Wilder's reaction as Sheffield United's winless run goes on after defeat to Manchester United
and live on Freeview channel 276
United went ahead through David McGoldrick, after a mistake from former Blades loanee Dean Henderson, before the visitors hit back to lead 3-1 thanks to a brace from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial's close-range strike.
United gave themselves a sniff when McGoldrick netted from close range from a corner, and Lys Mousset could have got the Blades a point - but his shot was palmed away by Henderson.

"It was very unlike us.
"I think Ole and his staff and players would accept we were going to try and make it competitive tonight. In a lot of ways it was, but we're disappointed with the goals we've conceded."
United, who lost Sander Berge to a hamstring injury, had a good chance to go 2-0 up when Oli Burke found John Fleck after brilliant work from Chris Basham in midfield.
But the Scottish international's shot went the wrong side of the post.

"But the goals that changed the game were preventable from our point of view."
United, bottom of the table and without a win so far this season, return to action on Sunday when they travel to Brighton and Hove Albion.
