Bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United caused a stunning upset with a Premier League victory over title-chasing Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Match Reports
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side needed three points to regain top spot from rivals Manchester City but were lacklustre for large periods of the contest as the away side picked up only their second win of the season.
The Blades took a shock first-half lead through Kean Bryan's flicked header, which went in off the far post following John Fleck's corner.
Anthony Martial had a goal ruled out for offside as Harry Maguire was adjudged to have fouled Aaron Ramsdale, but the United skipper headed in the leveller just past the hour mark.
The visitors responded with 16 minutes remaining as Manchester United failed to clear and substitute Oliver Burke side-footed in via a deflection off Axel Tuanzebe for their first win over the home side since the opening day of the newly formed Premier League in 1992.
Chris Wilder's side remain bottom, 10 points off safety, while Manchester United remain second.

Solkjaer was not serious enough to win against Sheffield Utd. He underrated them and paid the price to experimenting with his team selection. Watch out how Man City will teach Sheffield Utd a footballing lesson on Saturday afternoon. It is so shameful to lose to a relegation team.
Very shameful but trust me United and Ole are shameless whenever they lose games like this. thats why i love watching Man City. they know how to play some real football to win games.

Ole made a mistake by underestimating the opponent today. And some players played like a walking stick. Get rid of them!

The truth is that it's not I hate ole but the truth he showed us he's still inexperienced coach Martial and Radford were dead woods instead of introducing mata when we hard leveled he instead opted to sit and enjoy money fact's are bitter ole won't take us anywhere rather blindfolding us with top four finish and playing his cards around simes then eroupa league that's all a coach with experience would have seen this very quick

OGS made soo many mistakes with the team. Why not sack him after this stupid lost? He left all the good players out to play Alex at center back which is a stupid idea ever. All the games he play there he score own goals. What a failure OGSis?
