Man United youth prove their 'character' to repay Solskjaer's faith, but victory eludes Red Devils

SHEFFIELD, England -- Sometimes football simply makes no sense whatsoever.

Manchester United were dreadful for large parts of their game at Sheffield United and deservedly found themselves 2-0 down with 18 minutes remaining. In the blink of an eye, they were 3-2 up and heading for a completely improbable victory, only for substitute Oliver McBurnie's last-gasp equaliser to earn the home side a 3-3 draw.

A point was the very least that Chris Wilder's men deserved after a performance full of guile and endeavour that illustrated exactly how they have come to find themselves sixth in the Premier League table with more than a third of the season already behind them.
