The victory over Sheffield United (2-3) means the tenth consecutive away win in the Premier League. The Asturian, who came on the pitch in the second half, created danger over Ramsdale’s goal on two occasions.
Three more points in the bag ?

United did it again. The Red Devils managed to win all three points after a remarkable comeback. Once again, they did it away from Old Trafford. The 2-3 against Sheffield United marked their 10th consecutive away win in the Premier League. An achievement in which Juan Mata, who replaced Mason Greenwood in the second half, played a few minutes.
10 – Manchester United are the fourth side in English top-flight history to record 10 consecutive away league wins, after Spurs (10 between April & October 1960), Chelsea (11 between April & December 2008) and Manchester City (11 between May & December 2017). Marching. pic.twitter.com/KErNCybCN3

At Bramall Lane, the home team hit first. McGoldrick made it 1-0 after just 5 minutes off the clock. Manchester United had a hard time getting back into the game. Still, when they did, they imposed their excellent individual quality of his attacking players. Rashford twice (minutes 26 and 52) and Martial (33) materialised the comeback with brilliant goals. McGoldrick, in the 87th minute, added some spice to the final stretch of the game, but the victory fell on Manchester’s side.
10 – Manchester United are the first side ever to score 2+ goals in 10 consecutive away games in the Premier League; indeed, they are the first club to do so in the English top-flight since Tottenham in October 1960. Clinical. pic.twitter.com/3bZlwx1Lxo

Juan was the protagonist in two dangerous actions during the time he was on the pitch. The first one came after an excellent ball from Bruno that could have ended in a goal from Martial. The second action was a shot on goal with his left foot that blocked Ramsdale. These three points leave United just one point behind the fourth place, but with one game in hand. Another victory in the postponed match could place them second, just behind Liverpool.
