United not only sealed promotion to the Premier League after an absence of 12 years but also earned rave reviews for their impressive start to life back in the big time. Here we take a look back at a golden 2019 for the Blades.
17. Goal VAR-ce
VAR has been a thorn in the side of United at times this season, none more so than when David McGoldrick's effort at Tottenham in November was ruled out by a three-minute check because John Lundstram's big toe was judged to have been offside in the build-up. Photo: Bradley Collyer
18. United thriller
United proved once again they were more than a match for the big boys when they drew 3-3 in a topsy-turvy encounter with Manchester United. The Blades had led 2-0 and then trailed 3-2 before record signing Oli McBurnie scored a late equaliser to the delight of a rocking Bramall Lane. Photo: Darren Staples
19. Fifth at Christmas
United entered the busy Christmas period in fifth place after preserving their long unbeaten away record with a 1-0 win at Brighton and Hove Albion. Striker Oli McBurnie was on target for Chris Wilder's men as they once again defied the pundits to move within a place of the Champions League spots. Photo: Dan Istitene
