James McAtee was the hero for the Blades, coming off the bench to net the winner in front of the Kop – a goal all the more momentous considering that, a few hours earlier, the Manchester City loanee was not even in the squad after leaving training on Monday wearing a protective boot.
Victory moved United eight points clear of Luton ahead of their trip to Reading last night and resulted in some brilliantly-emotive photos of both fans and players celebrating what could turn out to be a seismic three points.
