Here’s how we rated the Blades players after a fine win over Brighton...
9. John Lundstram - 8
Started the game very brightly and hit the side netting with an early shot after winning the ball back high up the field. Avoided a caution which would have ruled him out of Boxing Day Photo: Gareth Fuller
10. Oliver McBurnie - 8
Showed great perseverance and then calmness to put United ahead with a composed finish and had a great running battle with Brighton’s giant defence, winning his fair share. Replaced by Mousset to a standing ovation Photo: Gareth Fuller
11. David McGoldrick - 7
Typical moments of class on the ball but a horrendous moment in the second half when he drew the mistake from Webster, rounded Ryan – and then hit the side netting. Photo: Danny Lawson
12. Ben Osborn - 8
Came on for Luke Freeman and was like a man possessed as he chased and harried for every single ball. Photo: Simon Bellis
