Sheffield United pulled a goal back through Billy Sharp, but United quickly restored their two-goal lead through Marcus Rashford. Anthony Martial added a fourth goal late on to seal the victory.
The victory was a much-needed boost for United, who had lost their previous two matches. It also gave manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer some breathing room after a difficult period.
