At 03:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 25, 2024, the 29th round of the English Premier League will play a make-up match, and Manchester United will face Sheffield United, the league's vice-captain, at Old Trafford. Who will be killed in this match?
The Red Devils, who play at home, have not been in good form this season, with the Reds dropping to seventh following a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth last time out. Then, in the FA Cup semi-finals, Manchester United led 3-0, but was actually scored three goals in a row by the Championship team Coventry, and finally won the penalty shootout. Although Manchester United advanced to the final, the performance of the United after the game was unanimously questioned by fans and the media. After being dragged into the penalty shoot-out, the fitness and morale of the United players were not at their best. Manchester United is playing in a heartbeat now, and there is no certainty of winning against any team. However, at the moment, Manchester United and Newcastle are both aiming for a sixth place in the Europa League, so United will be going all out to win.
Sheffield United, who are playing away from home, have not been in good form this season, losing 4-1 in the last round against second-bottom Burnley. After losing this game, Sheffield Lian firmly occupied the position of vice-president of the league. The relegation situation of this team is already quite serious. Sheffield United, who have not won in nine rounds, are now quite a bit of a broken pot, the morale of the whole team is low, and the fighting spirit has become a soft persimmon in the eyes of all Premier League teams.
To sum up, Manchester United and Sheffield United have both been criticised for their performances this season. However, judging from the overall strength and form of the two teams, Manchester United still has a slight advantage. If Sheffield, the vice-president of the league, can't even win, then what kind of face does bald manager Ten Hag have to stay at Manchester United to continue to coach?
