Another young Red Devil steals the spotlight

Manchester United’s on-loan striker Ashley Fletcher helped guide Barnsley to the Championship yesterday, capping a brilliant 72 hours for the club’s young English forwards.

With most of the country focussed on Marcus Rashford’s spectacular debut on Friday night, scoring 135 seconds into his England debut, Fletcher only needed 90 to open the scoring against Millwall.

Adam Hammill added a spectacular second and although boyhood Barnsley fan Mark Beevers pulled one back for Millwall, Lloyd Isgrove ensured a return to the Championship for the Tykes.
