Sheff United 1-2 Man United: Key stats
- Published
Scott McTominay was the fifth different Manchester United player to both score and concede a penalty in the same Premier League game, and the first since Bruno Fernandes against Brighton in September 2020.
Manchester United have recorded successive Premier League away wins for the first time since December 2022, while they’ve now won each of their last seven away league games against newly promoted sides.
Sheffield United are only the fourth side in Premier League history to register just one point in their opening nine games to begin a season (D1 L8), after Manchester City in 1995-96, Sheffield Wednesday in 1999-00 and Sheffield United in 2020-21, with all three previous sides suffering relegation.
Sheffield United’s Oliver McBurnie scored his first Premier League goal since December 2020 against Leicester City, with what was his first ever taken penalty in the competition.
Both of Diogo Dalot’s Premier League goals have come away against newly promoted sides, also netting against Nottingham Forest in April last season – while it was Manchester United’s first away winner from outside the box in the competition since Paul Pogba against Fulham in January 2021.
