In the early morning of April 25, Beijing time, the 29th round of the English Premier League continued, and Manchester United faced Sheffield United, who are at the bottom of the standings, at Old Trafford. In this match of 60,000 spectators, Manchester United fought back from the unfavorable situation of conceding a goal first, and finally won 4-2 against their opponents, and returned to sixth place in the table with 53 points after taking all three points.
Once the game began, United quickly took the initiative and continued to attack the Sheffield United defence. However, in the 34th minute, Sheffield United took advantage of Manchester United's mistake and scored with a volley from a tight angle by Borg to take the lead. United equalised in the 41st minute with Harry Maguire's header, Maguire's fourth goal of the season in all competitions, equalling his last three seasons combined.
In the second half, Sheffield United took the lead again in the 50th minute, but United were undeterred. In the 60th minute, B Fei took advantage of a penalty opportunity to help the team equalize again. Subsequently, B Fee blasted the world wave in the 81st minute to help Manchester United achieve a comeback. In the 85th minute, Hojlen's goal sealed the win for Manchester United.
Fernandes contributed two goals and an assist in this game, and became the biggest contributor to Manchester United's comeback victory. His outstanding performance once again proved that he is the key man for the team. In addition, United's victory also kept their hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League alive, although at the moment it seems to be slim.
Liverpool, meanwhile, lost 2-0 to Everton in the same round and have lost two of their last three games and are largely out of contention for the Premier League title. This is undoubtedly good news for Manchester United, as any mistake by the main rivals could change the landscape of the season in the fierce competition of the Premier League.
Despite just one win in the last four league games and a near-knockback win at the hands of Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-finals, the comeback victory was certainly a shot in the arm for the Reds. Coach Ten Hag's managerial pressure has eased as a result. According to ESPN, Ten Hag faces a 25 per cent pay cut if United fail to qualify for next season's Champions League this season, as do other big names in the squad. Therefore, the remaining games for Manchester United are not only a battle of honor, but also a battle for financial interests.
