Four changes for Sheffield United at Man Utd as Chris Wilder makes Ivo Grbic, captaincy decision

Sheffield United fans wanted Ivo Grbic to be dropped v Man Utd after Burnley display

Sheffield United have made four changes to their side for this evening’s trip to Manchester United, with Chris Wilder making a change in goal. Ivo Grbic’s latest unconvincing display, against Burnley at the weekend in a 4-1 defeat, has seen him taken out of the firing line, with Wes Foderingham coming back in for his first start since February 18.

Grbic is on the bench, alongside James McAtee and youngster Owen Hampson. Cameron Archer comes in to start, as does Mason Holgate and youngster Andre Brooks. Out go Vini Souza, McAtee and Oli McBurnie, with McBurnie missing from the matchday squad altogether with a groin issue.
