- Manchester United is currently in seventh place in the Premier League table, and this is a crucial match for the team to win and retain their Europa League spot.
- Manchester United blew a 3-0 lead in their most recent FA Cup semi-final against Coventry in the final 20 minutes.
- Coventry demonstrated incredible resilience against the Red Devils, despite having their extra-minute goal disallowed before going to penalties. Manchester secures the penalties and a spot in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium since it is a Manchester Derby.

MUN vs SHF Players to watch:
Manchester United: Due to United’s extensive defensive unavailability, Casemiro was forced to fill in at centre-back on Sunday, and the Brazilian is expected to do so again against the Blades. Bruno Fernandes is expected to be eligible for selection in midfield, as he is the front-runner for United Player of the Season.
Sheffield United: Gustavo Hamer needs one more goal to become the third Sheffield United player to score five goals and five assists in a Premier League season, following Brian Deane and Dane Whitehouse. There might be a ray of hope as Jack Robinson approaches his return, delivering a boost to the defensive lineup.
