Manchester United will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they travel to Sheffield United for Thursday evening's showdown.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men played out a drab goalless stalemate with arch rivals Manchester City in Saturday's derby - only a few days after the Red Devils had bowed out of the Champions League at the first hurdle.
Thursday's visitors sit eighth in the Premier League table heading into this bout, although Man United have become renowned for their away form this term and are aiming to win their 10th top-flight game in a row on unfamiliar territory this week.

Edinson Cavani had been training prior to the Manchester derby but did not make the squad as he continues to nurse the muscle injury he picked up at West Ham United. Solskjaer has admitted that the Uruguayan striker is still a doubt for the trip to Bramall Lane and would likely make an appearance from the bench if he is risked.
