Manchester United paid tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton with a 2-1 Premier League victory at Sheffield United hot
United are mourning one of their greatest ever players following Charlton’s death aged 86 on Saturday morning and goals from Scott McTominay and Diogo Dalot ensured they remembered him with victory hot
But Erik ten Hag’s side could not be much further away from the one that Charlton famously led to European Cup glory in 1968 as they were lacklustre against a team who have picked up just one point this season hot
Defender Dalot was the unlikely hero as he saved their blushes with a 20-yard curler 13 minutes from time after Oli McBurnie’s first-half penalty had cancelled out McTominay’s opener hot
It was not a vintage performance, certainly not one fitting of Charlton, but United did at least register back-to-back league victories for the first time this season and Ten Hag will hope this can be a springboard hot
The Blades may feel they deserved something out of the game, especially on the back of a lively first-half performance, but they slipped to an eighth defeat from nine games and a long winter looks on the cards hot
United captain Bruno Fernandes laid a wreath on the centre circle before kick-off and there was a minute’s applause for the World Cup winner, while the away end gave a rousing rendition of ‘There’s only one Bobby Charlton’ hot
As emotional as it was for United, they still had a job to do and they had to weather an early storm from the hosts hot
The Blades started well and should have led inside the opening three minutes as Gus Hamer’s shot deflected into the path of McBurnie, but with time and space 14 yards out he shot straight at Andre Onana, who gratefully clung on hot
The visitors were up against it and Ten Hag used an injury break to gather his players and bark instructions hot
It did not immediately make much difference as Onana, much maligned for handling errors this season, produced a strong arm to keep out Cameron Archer’s 20-yard drive hot
For all their bluster, the Blades had come away from a strong opening 25 minutes without reward and they were punished as the visitors went ahead against the run of the play in the 28th minute hot
McTominay, who rescued his side with two injury-time goals against Brentford before the international break, received the ball from Fernandes and his scuffed effort found its way into the bottom corner hot
Things quickly turned sour for for McTominay, though, as just five minutes later he gave away a penalty when he handled James McAtee’s cross hot
The incident survived a VAR check and McBurnie stepped up and stroked the spot-kick home for his first goal of the season hot
McBurnie almost turned provider in the 41st minute when he slipped in Archer, but Onana bravely stopped with his face hot
For all the home pressure, it was Ten Hag’s men who nearly took a lead into the half-time break as they had two late chances hot
First Fernandes clipped the crossbar with a dipping free-kick before Rasmus Hojlund was denied by a fine save from Wes Foderingham, who rushed out and deflected the ball wide hot
The Blades were on the front foot after the restart and Onana made another impressive stop, palming away Rhian Brewster’s effort after being wrong-footed hot
United finally upped their game and created a raft of chances to go back in front hot
Foderingham saved from Hojlund when the Dane should have scored, Marcus Rashford rolled wide at the far post and Sofyan Amrabat thundered a fierce 20-yard effort against the crossbar hot
The breakthrough eventually came in the 77th minute when Dalot was afforded too much time on the edge of the area and he curled a shot into the top corner, though Foderingham got a hand to it and should have kept it out hot
That proved enough as United remembered Charlton with victory which will not live long in the memory hot

Alex Stepney was stood in the shadow of the statue of his three most celebrated teammates hot
Manchester United’s ‘Holy Trinity’ have been separated, with only Denis Law still able to visit the Theatre of Dreams, but they are immortalised in bronze outside it hot
Yet while the statue of George Best, Bobby Charlton and Law – each of such a stature that he was voted European hot Footballer of the Year – was placed outside Old Trafford, only one had a stand at one of the iconic stadia named after him hot
The South Stand is the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand hot
It has been since 2016 and on Sunday, it will have an added poignancy, in the first Manchester derby since Charlton died hot
A week of mourning has shown what Charlton meant: to United, to England, to hot football hot
“He’d be very humbled and say, ‘I don’t deserve it’,” Stepney said hot
“That’s Bobby Charlton hot
” But as both the statue and the stand show, the tributes began long before Charlton’s life ended hot
His innate modesty meant that the man widely described as England’s greatest hot footballer retained his humility hot
He was, though aware of his importance to so many while downplaying his own significance hot
“He never showed it,” Stepney said hot
“He didn’t want to show it because that wasn’t him hot
When they opened the stand, it was the Everton game, I was with him and he had to go on the pitch with [his wife] Norma and he had a tear in his eye hot
He said, ‘I don’t deserve this’ hot
I said, ‘Bob, you deserve everything, you deserve everything you get, throughout your life for the way you have done the game, played the game and inspired supporters all around the world’ hot
”Decades on, Charlton’s story has, if anything, appeared still more remarkable hot
Barely out of his teens when he climbed, concussed, from the wreckage of a plane in Munich, a crash claiming the lives of eight of his teammates and destroying a team that felt destined for greatness, he nevertheless became a World Cup and European Cup winner hot
His tragic past had an intimidatory capacity: certainly to Stepney when he joined from Chelsea in 1966, a month after Charlton’s elegant running and fierce shooting had propelled England to the World Cup hot
Should he mention Munich? RecommendedAndre Onana’s moment of magic can be catalyst to reverse more than one difficult recent runSir Bobby Charlton: England’s greatest ever player and the artist of 1966Sir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseverance“That was my main concern when Matt Busby signed me,” the goalkeeper said hot
“I had to come to Manchester and I met the players at the training ground the following day hot
Matt took me around and directly when I went in he introduced me to each and every player and I knew then: you don’t talk about it hot
It wasn’t until 50 years later that Bobby actually spoke about it hot
” If it was a generation when things went unsaid, it framed United’s eventual European Cup victory hot
But for Munich, Roger Byrne, and not Charlton, may have been the first United captain to lift the trophy; Tommy Taylor, and not him, the goalscoring No 9 to find the net in the final; Duncan Edwards, and not him, the personification of the club hot
Stepney felt Charlton won it for them, for his friend Eddie Colman, for Geoff Bent, Mark Jones, David Pegg and Liam Whelan, for the fallen eight hot
Former Manchester UNited player Alex Stepney visits the tributes in memory of Sir Bobby Charlton (PA)“I think when you reach the heights of getting to the European Cup final 10 years after Munich and for him to be captain and score two goals, that was unbelievable,” added Stepney hot
“I believe he did it for those lads who passed away in ‘58 hot
He always said he thought about them every day and he did: he would go off and have a little think and come back and off we go hot
”His own part in the 4-1 win at Wembley should not be overlooked: his save from Eusebio ranks among the most celebrated in United’s history hot
Stepney is a United great in his own right: his total of 539 games as a goalkeeper was a club record until David de Gea passed it a few months ago hot
He was, remarkably, United’s joint top scorer at Christmas in the 1973-74 season, courtesy of two penalties hot
He was the only member of the 1968 side who was also part of the 1977 FA Cup-winning team hot
He has outlasted his friends again hot
He treasures memories of Charlton, of playing cards and quizzes on tour hot
He may be the standard bearer for a generation now, just as Charlton long was hot
At 81, Stepney joined manager Erik ten Hag and Under-19 captain Dan Gore to lay a wreath in the centre circle before Tuesday’s win over FC Copenhagen hot
Old Trafford, the ground Charlton first graced on his debut 67 years ago, will applaud on Sunday hot

“This is what Bobby envisaged hot
This is what he wanted hot
Nobody would have dreamt when he retired that he would become a director hot
He put the cogs in motion with Sir Alex [Ferguson] right through to get this as it is now hot
” But if Charlton’s legacy is in bricks and mortar, it is also in image and memories, in Manchester United hot
