BRUNO FERNANDES saved Manchester United from further misery as they rallied from behind to defeat bottom-placed Sheffield United.

Erik ten Hag’s men trailed twice, but a Fernandes penalty and long-range shot put them ahead.

Manchester United came from behind twice to defeat Sheffield United.

Jayden Bogle opened the scoring following a howler from Andre Onana.

Then he was the supplier, providing Rasmus Hojlund with a cross to ensure everything was safe.

After working extremely hard to beat Coventry City on Sunday, it appeared at one time that it may have gone against them as well.

However, higher quality emerged in the end.

Erik saw this as more proof of his team’s tenacity as they compete for a spot in the Europa Conference League.

This comes just three days after their valiant victory over Coventry to secure a second consecutive FA Cup Final spot.

They led 3-0 but needed VAR and a penalty shootout to win.

The Manchester United manager was not pleased with the reaction, but it did result in a few more positive headlines for the ailing boss.

However, if anyone believed Manchester United’s penalty shootout victory at Wembley Stadium would have put a spring in their step from the opening whistle Friday night, they might think again.

Ben Brereton Diaz put the visitors ahead 2-1.

Bruno Fernandes scored from the penalty spot to equalize for the second time.

Fernandes scored a thunderbolt, giving Manchester United the lead.

There was obviously a muted atmosphere among the crowd, many of whom had witnessed the Sunday affair.

There were flashbacks to how they concluded that match beneath the arch in the opening half last night, when they fell down to a team that had only won one league game away from home all season.

At the very least, the home side attempted to take the lead.

However, poor finishing and the acrobatics of returned Blades goalkeeper Wes Foderingham were keeping them at bay.

As always, Alejandro Garnacho appeared to be United’s most dangerous attacking player.

There is no coincidence that when Ten Hag replaces him, United’s performance suffers.

Diogo Dalot has been one of the few bright spots this season, and it was he who had the opening attempt last night, shooting after only 27 seconds that Foderingham pushed over.

Then, Garnacho’s quick feet and brain allowed him to wiggle into the visitors’ box, but his finish fell short of his own buildup and was saved one-handed by the Blades’ goalie.

Rasmus Hojlund also got on the scoresheet.

The result saved Erik ten Hag from disgrace after Sunday’s outcome against Coventry.

The visitors were battling to get out of their own half, but with little support from the home team, they were able to grab the lead.

Onana was at fault, which is not the first time this season.

There is no way the manager can say that the former Inter Milan number one is an improvement than David De Gea.

The sloppy way he moved the ball across his own box left Dalot exposed, allowing Jayden Bogle to take up possession and shoot the ball past the 28-year-old Cameroon international.

‘How awful must you be, we’re winning away,’ chanted the fans who are sticking with their team to the bitter end of their doomed relegation struggle.

The Red Devils responded by sending Maguire home at the end of the half, like he had done at Wembley.

Garnacho crossed from the left, and the center back completed a fantastic flick header that sent the ball flying across Foderingham and into the far side of the goal.

Muffled cheers echoed over the ground.

There were louder ones just five minutes after the half, coming from the Blades fans in the corner of Old Trafford as their team retook the lead.

This time, Dalot was half asleep when he handed the ball away.

Gustavo Hamer fed it. Ben Osborn sent a cross back from the byline, which Ben Brereton Diaz converted.

Ten Hag looked on in disbelief and decided to make a change, removing the hapless Antony.

No ear cupping on this occasion.

On the hour, the Red Devils drew level under quite unusual circumstances.

Auston Trusty took Maguire down in the box, and the whistle came just as Dalot helped force the ball over the line.

Regardless all the concerns, referee Michael Salisbury demanded that the penalty award stay.

Fernandes can be relied on in these situations, as he converted another penalty kick for his team.

Brereton Diaz raced forward, and as his effort deflected off Maguire, Onana was caught flat-footed, and the ball sailed just wide.

But Fernandes came to the rescue with his second goal in the 80th minute, a left-foot rocket that Foderingham couldn’t stop.

Then, five minutes later, Rasmus Hojlund, who had barely touched the ball all night, converted Fernandes’ far-post cross.

Drama is over.

Andre Onana provided Sheffield United the opening goal.
