The Red Devils head into the week in top spot having stretched their unbeaten run in the league to 13 matches following a 2-1 win away to Fulham last time out.
Despite having established themselves as genuine title contenders this season, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has talked down his team's chances of a first top-flight crown in eight years.
"It is always going to be talked about when you are halfway through and top of the league but we are not thinking about this," Solskjaer told BT Sport.
"We just have to go one game at a time. It is such an unpredictable season."
Sheffield have only won once all season and currently sit bottom of the standings, 12 points from safety. The Blades head into the fixture on the back of a 3-1 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur which was preceded by a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United.

Manchester United beat the Blades 3-2 at Bramall Lane earlier this season. David McGoldrick (two), Marcus Rashford (two) and Anthony Martial were on target in Sheffield. Martial scored a hat-trick in a 3-0 win in the corresponding fixture last season. In fact, the Red Devils have scored three goals against Sheffield in their three most recent meetings.
