Latest Man United pictures show Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes training together ahead of Sheffield United

1/41

Manchester United were on Tuesday stepping up their preparations on the training pitch ahead of a tough visit of Sheffield United.

A win on Wednesday would move United five points clear of the Blades in the battle for a Champions League spot.

Defeat to Chris Wilder's men would hand the initiative to the Blades, who will be without goalkeeper Dean Henderson due to the terms of his loan move from Old Trafford.

Paul Pogba is pushing for a start after an impressive cameo in the win over Tottenham on Friday, with fans finally getting a glimpse at the much-anticipated partnership with Bruno Fernandes.

There was reason to celebrate on Tuesday as Scott McTominay signed a new five-year contract, and had a special shirt to show off for the occasion.

"All I have ever known is United and I hope my passion for the club shows every time I go on the pitch," he said. "I'll continue to give everything for this club whenever I pull on the shirt."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added: "Scott has done tremendously well since I joined and been a vital part of our midfield," said Solskjaer.

"He brings determination, tenacity and skill to the game and we know Scott's attributes will be a major asset to the squad over the coming years."
