First, goalkeeper André Onana served a terrible pass straight to Sheffield United full-back Jayden Bogle.

But the hosts dominated the first half and were made to pay when Harry Maguire headed home the equaliser.

After the break, the Old Trafford crowd received another cold shower when Ben Brereton Diaz scored the away team’s second goal of the evening.

Then it was Bruno Fernandes’ turn to show off. First, he converted a penalty after Harry Maguire went down on the grass as the clock struck the hour mark.

Twenty minutes later he was up again. He had time to charge his shot from 25 metres.

Even though he used the “wrong” foot, the powerful shot went into the net.

He didn’t give up there either: Five minutes later, he served Denmark’s Rasmus Højlund, who scored the last goal of the evening.

Bruno Fernandes now has seven goals and two assists in his last five games, including the FA Cup qualifier against Coventry.

Manchester United tighten their grip on sixth place in the league with five games remaining.

Crystal Palace beat Newcastle 2-0 after two goals from Jean Philippe Mateta.

Liverpool suffered a critical loss against Everton. Thus, they fall behind in the title race:
