Manchester United midfielder Ben Pearson has won over many fans during his loan spell with Barnsley.

Pearson played his part in the Tykes' impressive 4-1 victory over Swindon Town on Saturday.

The midfielder came up against Swindon's on-loan Liverpool ace Jordan Williams, fresh from Wales' Euros qualifiers, but didn't put a foot wrong as Barnsley enjoyed one of their best wins of the season.

Pearson, 20, is in his second season on-loan at Oakwell and is a member of England's U20 squad. The youngster, born in Oldham, has been with United since he was nine years of age.

At Barnsley, he's proved a popular player, particularly for the effort he shows in games.

Tykes fan, Mitch, says Pearson is among the best defensive midfielders in League One and appreciates his work-rate.

@tribalfootball Love him to bits, one of my favourite players. One of best defensive midfielders in the league, never stops running! — Mitch (@uknownuffin) September 13, 2015

Barnsley supporter Jack is also a fan of Pearson, convinced of the midfielder's quality, though unlike Mitch, believes the United man could step up his work off the ball.

Barnsley boss Lee Johnson is delighted he was able to re-sign Pearson this season. The Tykes manager having been impressed last term when he first faced Pearson as Oldham Athletic manager.

"Ben really impressed me last season - both when he played against and for me. He is a tremendous talent with energy to burn and is a good passer of the ball."

Pearson's loan at Oakwell runs initially to January 3.
