Sheffield United 3-3 Manchester United: 5 players who were impressive for the Red Devils

4. Mason Greenwood

Sheffield United v Manchester United - Premier League

As soon as Brandon William scored in the 72nd minute, Solskjaer perhaps had an intuition that his team could turn things around. He turned to his bench and opted to bring Mason Greenwood in for the underperforming Andreas Pereira. The Brazilian had struggled against the Blades’ physical approach and had been one of the poorest players on the pitch. Solskjaer needed another goalscorer in his team to get something out of the game and he turned to the young Englishman, who had already impressed from the bench on quite a few occasions in the Premier League.

Greenwood’s introduction meant that United suddenly had a natural goal scorer into the mix. The youngster’s movement and sense of anticipation would turn out to be vital for United soon. In the 77th minute, following some neat exchanges in the final third, the ball fell to Rashford, who sent in a low cross into the box. Greenwood reacted quickest and beat his marker to get to the end of the ball and scored to draw United level. It was an instantaneous impact that showed the immense potential the youngster was blessed with. It is only a matter of time before Solskjaer is forced to give him his first start in the Premier League.
