On November 24, 2019, Manchester United's hopes of a comeback victory were dashed in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Premier League newcomers Sheffield United.
The match was a game of two halves, with Manchester United turning the game around in a remarkable seven minutes. Academy players Jesse Lingard and Mason Greenwood played key roles in the comeback, injecting pace into the game and scoring crucial goals.
However, Sheffield United's Oliver McBurnie had the final say, scoring a dramatic equalizer in injury time to secure a point for his team. The goal, which was initially contested due to allegations of a handball, stood after review by the Video Assisted Referee.
The draw suits Sheffield United more than Manchester United, as the Blades climbed two places to sixth in the Premier League table, while United are now up to ninth, level on points with Jose Mourinho's Tottenham.
