Sheffield United: Why pundit Michael Owen is backing Blades to get a positive result against his old club Manchester United this weekend

The former England international described Chris Wilder’s Blades as ‘the surprise package of the Premier League this season’ so far and believes they can continue their impressive start to life in the top flight by picking up a result against Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s men at Bramall Lane.

The Red Devils have picked up just five points from their six away games in the Premier League this term, while United hammered Burnley 3-0 in their last home game.

And Owen told BetVictor: “Sheffield United have been the surprise package of the season and Bramall Lane looks sure to be rocking for the visit of Manchester United who have picked up just five points from their six away league games this term.

“Few would have predicted that the Blades would be looking down on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side in the table at the end of November and I believe they will maintain the one-point gap between the sides following a low-scoring draw.”
