SHEFFIELD, England: Scott McTominay scored his third goal in two games and Diogo Dalot netted the winner in Manchester United's 2-1 Premier League victory at Sheffield United on Saturday to secure their first back to back wins of the season.
On a solemn day for United following the death of club great Bobby Charlton, Erik ten Hag's side climbed to eighth in the standings on 15 points after nine games. Sheffield United are bottom with one point.
McTominay, who scored two last-gasp goals in United's 2-1 win over Brentford two weeks ago, volleyed home in the 28th minute. The Scot's handball six minutes later, however, led to Oli McBurnie's penalty which he slotted past keeper Andre Onana. For swaths of the first half, the Blades looked nothing like a bottom team. They put Onana to work early when Cameron Archer's hard shot from just outside the 18-yard box sailed between Maguire's legs and was pushed away by a diving Onana.
