Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hailed Manchester United youngster Mason Greenwood's fearlessness after he claimed his first Premier League goal.
Greenwood replaced Andreas Pereira in the 73rd minute with United 2-1 down at Sheffield United and the 18-year-old scored four minutes later to equalise before Marcus Rashford put United ahead in the 79th minute. Sheffield United rallied and Oli McBurnie volleyed in a 90th minute equaliser to secure a 3-3 draw.
Academy graduate Greenwood has scored three in four starts this term but his only league start was in the final game of last season against Cardiff. Greenwood made his 10th league appearance off the bench this term at Bramall Lane and Solskjaer was delighted with his game-changing impact.
When asked how the players could learn from the match, Solskjaer replied: "Play like we did in the 10 minutes when we scored. Just release the fear, play with belief, confidence.
"They've come through the academy, most of these boys. Mason comes on and plays with no fear, Brandon [Williams]'s great goal, it's something you try to teach them, but along the way in the academy you don't play these games. They will have learnt a lot by these 90-odd minutes, so there will be some pluses as well."
Solskjaer compared the first 70 minutes of United's display to the embarrassment last season at Everton, where they were trounced 4-0. The United manager claimed the integration of homegrown players and signings have improved United's mentality.
"You could see we brought young players on with Mason," Solskjaer added. "Brandon scores the goal, you've got three lads we signed who have made a good impact, so for me the boys will have learnt a lesson from 71 minutes and the 95th minute or whatever it was [when McBurnie levelled].
"But the biggest part must be the way they've had character to stay in the game and turn it round.
"He (Greenwood)'s a goalscorer, I've always said it and did an interview this week about number of minutes you need to make an impact and he made an impact today. But the way we turned these bad 70 minutes into a positive feeling is good."
