Goals from Oli McBurnie and Sander Berge sealed the Blades’ first away victory of the season and sent them back to the summit of the early Championship standings.
But a crucial first-half save from Wes Foderingham was also key, as United ran out deserved winners at the MKM Stadium. The only negative was an early injury to key defender Max Lowe.
Here’s how we rated Paul Heckingbottom’s men…
9. Tommy Doyle 7.5
Had United's first shot on target with a curling effort and got a telling off from Egan for his short corner routine that almost got United in trouble. But looked neat and tidy otherwise, even if he did look like he was blowing from about an hour onwards Photo: Sport Image
10. Iliman Ndiaye 7.5
Had a wonderful chance to make it 2-0 which could, and should, have made the game safe in the second half. But after working himself some real space in the Hull box with a neat turn, his effort was tame and saved comfortably by Ingram. Photo: Simon Bellis
11. Oli McBurnie 8
Appeared as surprised as anyone inside this stadium that his early shot had sneaked past Ingram but wasn't too concerned as he raced away to celebrate his third goal in as many games. Led the line superbly too until he was replaced by Brewster Photo: Simon Bellis
