But the win potentially came at a cost when skipper Billy Sharp limped off in the second half, adding another headache for boss Paul Heckingbottom in an injury-battling season so far.
United were far from their best in the first half against Barnsley, who could have taken an early lead when Matty Wolfe saw off a well-saved effort from Wes Foderingham.
But the home side went ahead perhaps against the run of play when Sander Berge converted from close range, and Morgan Gibbs-White put the glossary on the win after rounding Brad Collins and returning to home after a good game from substitute Oli McBurnie.

Had a good chance late in the second half when he was fed by Berge, cut inside on his favorite left foot and curled an effort just wide. Another solid change out of position

Could have scored his first goal in United colors in front of the Kop but Berge reacted faster to finish on a cross from Hourihane. Another solid performance from the young man
