But how did United' players fare? Our man at the game Danny Hall gives his player ratings.

1. Dean Henderson 7
Early confidence boost when he claimed a cross, earning a roar of appreciation from the crowd and denied Hugill with a stunning stop. Kept out Assombalonga with his body later on

2. George Baldock 7
Showed good defensive instincts to head away a dangerous corner with Friend lurking but limped off before half-time with an injury, which could be a real blow for the Blades as he was emerging as a key player

3. Martin Cranie 7
Went about his work with the minimum of fuss after an early confidence-boosting block. Showed a few neat touches on the right wing and although he plays the role differently to Basham, he does so no less competently

4. John Egan 8
Once again a measure of consistency in the middle of defence, giving Hugill and then Assombalonga no change whatsoever. A real rock
