It was one of the most highly anticipated games of Matchday 29, as two teams with contrasting needs were set to face each other. The anticipation stemmed from the expectation of a fiercely intense duel, considering the urgency for points on both sides.

The reason for the match’s suspension is due to the FA Cup quarterfinals scheduled for this weekend. One of the participating teams, Manchester United , will be among the eight clubs not engaging in league action at the end of the week due to their involvement in the aforementioned competition.

Manchester United are vying for qualification spots in international tournaments. Although they are somewhat distant from the Champions League positions, they are determined to maintain their Europa League berth. On the other hand, Sheffield United are battling relegation and thus desperately needs points to secure their position in the league.
