Manchester United’s academy came to their rescue as goals from three graduates completed a second-half comeback against Sheffield United to help secure a 3-3 draw at Bramall Lane.

Brandon Williams, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford stunned the Blades, who had been sitting pretty after goals from John Fleck and Lys Mousset either side of half time. But Oli McBurnie was on hand to snatch a last-gasp equaliser after a VAR check for handball.

After a really positive start, Sheffield United went close twice when John Lundstram’s well-timed volley was blocked by David De Gea, who then showed excellent reactions to push away David McGoldrick’s header a few seconds later.
