Here’s how we rated the performances of the Blades players...
1. Michael Verrips - 6

2. Kieron Freeman - 6
A few nice moments and got forward at will but wasted the opportunity to cross two or three times in the second half Photo: Simon Bellis
3. Jack Rodwell - 7
Making his debut for the Blades after signing on Friday, the former England international did the basics well at both ends and also seemed to relish the chance to bomb forward when he could Photo: Simon Bellis
4. Phil Jagielka - 7
The former England international was a figure of calm at the back for United as they were tested on more than one occasion by Fylde on the break Photo: Simon Bellis
