Sheffield Utd v Man United: The essential info
Manchester United travel to Bramall Lane for the first time in 13 years on Sunday, for a Premier League clash with Sheffield United.
Three points would take the Reds above Sheffield United in the table, ahead of a busy schedule in both the league and cups.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of Sunday’s match…
Sunday 24 November | Premier League | Bramall Lane | 16:30 GMT | Live build-up on MUTV from 15:00 GMT | Referee: Andre Marriner.
The match will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League in the UK. Alternatively, MUTV subscribers will still be able to follow all the build-up through the ‘Match Day Live’ show from 13:30 GMT; this is then followed by live radio commentary. You can also keep up to date with what’s going on through our coverage on ManUtd.com and the Official App, where you can track live data and player statistics in the Match Centre. MUTV will be showing a full re-run of the game the following day.
Andre Marriner will oversee Sunday’s game at Bramall Lane. It will be the first United match the 48-year-old has taken charge of this season, although he did referee four of our Premier League clashes last year, the most recent of which was April’s Manchester derby. Marriner will be assisted by Simon Long and Sian Massey-Ellis at the weekend, while Andy Madley will assume the role of fourth official. From their Stockley Park base, Graham Scott will be in charge of VAR for this match, with Stephen Child his assistant.
