Sheffield United 3-3 Manchester United: 3 Talking Points from the game | Premier League 19-20

2. Youngsters saved the day

Sheffield United v Manchester United - Premier League

Since Ole Gunner Solskjaer became the Manchester United manager, a lot of focus and trust has been placed on the academy players. In fact, over the last couple of years, we have seen youngsters come up and make first-team positions their own.

United's recruitment from outside of the academy has largely been unsuccessful since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure. Solskjaer has tried to bring back that academy culture, with chances being given to players such as Mason Greenwood, Brandon Williams to name a few. Even a regular starter in Scott Mctominay is an academy graduate.

That faith shown by the manager had to be repaid at some point and this was the game where the youngsters announced themselves in the Premier League. Williams started the comeback for United, scoring a fine goal with his right foot in the 72nd minute. Mason Greenwood scored brilliantly from a Marcus Rashford cross, showing everyone how good a finisher he is at such a young age. He became United's 3rd youngest goalscorer ever in the process.

Marcus Rashford scored the third goal in the 79th minute to take the lead after some brilliant wing play from Daniel James. This all happened for United in a space of 8 minutes. The young attack showed some potential and displayed the amount of damage they can do in small sessions of possession, momentum and coordination.

Although a draw against Sheffield is hardly a cause to celebrate for The Red Devils, Solskjaer has shown that he is capable of developing the squad the right way in the long term.
