The Wolves loanee made a darting run toward the near post and he was picked out by Ben Osborn to flick the ball with his backheel across the goalkeeper and into the far corner.

The 22-year-old played a big part in the win as United moved above Middlesbrough and into fifth to continue their resurgence under Paul Heckingbottom.

He provided the assist for Sharp's first-half strike to take his tally for the Championship season to seven while his goal was his eighth in 24 league appearances.

The Blades are back in action on Saturday as they travel to Coventry City.
