Match

Manchester United tear Sheffield United apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 5‑2 against Sheffield United, and it could have been more.

13 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Mario Lezcano Morán breaks a bone — 40 days out

Manchester United promote Jacob Spencer from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jacob Spencer has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief
