No game is too easy for Man United as Bruno Fernandes saves Erik ten Hag's blushes against Sheffield United... the Dutchman continues to give the club reasons why he shouldn't be part of their plans, writes CHRIS WHEELER

MANCHESTER UNITED 4-2 SHEFFIELD UNITED - CHRIS WHEELER AT OLD TRAFFORD: Nothing is straightforward for Manchester United at this moment in what has been a tough season. Three days after their Wembley wobbles almost cost Erik ten Hag's side a place in the FA Cup final, they were at it again. Twice they trailed to a team that started the night seven points adrift at the foot of the table, and twice they had to drag themselves back into this game. Bruno Fernandes' second goal of the night and Rasmus Hojlund first since February got them out of trouble but this was hardly stellar opposition. When Fernandes scored his first from the spot, the Blades broke Derby's record of conceding 89 goals in a 38-game Premier League season.

AADAM PATEL AT CRAVEN COTTAGE: This is going to be a nightmare for Sheffield United. They are now winless and rooted to the bottom of the table after losing their seventh match in eight in a game that was overshadowed by a horrific ankle injury to Chris Basham. 'We can't blame it (the crash) for the pain.' Of course, it will impact us for the remainder of the season, but Heckingbottom says "I don't think it affected us" (in the game). We still have a sense of naivety at this point, which is perhaps the difference. I can't fault the players' efforts. We're where we should be, but at the moment, the things that could go against us are happening against us,' he said.

Nicolas Pepe's expensive marriage with Arsenal ends in desperate divorce as the Gunners £72m man seals exit from Emirates with £3m knockdown move to Trabzonspor

Nicolas Pepe and Arsenal are both Arsenal and Chelsea players. An expensive marriage that began with moments of brilliance along the way but then the marriage's time came to an end, the only alternative was a desperate protracted divorce. It's been a dramatic decline for sure, from a £72 million coup under Unai Emery to Turkish side Trabzonspor for a mere £3 million. In July, the writing was on the wall. Mikel Arteta had already decided that the Frenchman was not in his plans, so there wasn't really need to be on the club's pre-season tour of the United States. There was space in the 29-man squad for Auston Trusty (since being sold to Sheffield United) and Marquinhos (now on loan to Nantes), but not Pepe. His loan efforts at Nice last season were not to Arteta's satisfaction.

Tim NASH (TIM NASH): ANDREWS, a high-flying QPR, had been brought down to earth by Birmingham last night. Auston Trusty and Emmanuel Longelo, a loan combination that was borrowed from Arsenal and West Ham respectively, both scored Birmingham's first-half goals, denying Michael Beale's men the opportunity to regain the Championship's top spot.
