A second half brace by John Fleck helped the Blades move into fifth place – although he also picked up his fifth booking of the campaign and will miss next Saturday’s trip to Brighton. Here’s how our United writer Danny Hall rated each player.
9. Ollie Norwood - 8
Saw yellow early on for bringing down the advancing McGinn, after earlier being penalised when Grealish ran straight into him. Superb pass for McGoldrick chance Photo: Nathan Stirk
10. Lys Mousset - 7
The Frenchman’s poor touch early on saw a promising move break down and it wasn’t the striker’s day on the whole. Replaced on the hour mark by McBurnie after a good shift Photo: PAUL ELLIS
11. David McGoldrick - 8
Set up Fleck’s second with a sublime assist. Caught high by Hause in a tackle and the Villa man was perhaps lucky to only see yellow. Replaced late on to standing ovation Photo: Shaun Botterill
12. Mo Besic (sub n/a)
Replaced Norwood, perhaps to get a few more minutes under his belt if he replaces Fleck at Brighton Photo: Matthew Lewis
