Sheffield Utd striker Brewster: I know there's many who want me to succeed

Former Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster is eager to refind his confidence as a goalscorer.

The attacker, who is now 23, rose to fame when he scored 20 goals in 23 games for England's Under-17 side.

However, a move to Sheffield United in 2020 for big money has not born fruit, as he only has five goals in 65 games.

He told Yorkshire Live: "People have been behind me - the fans, the gaffer - and I want to replay the favor and keep the Bladesmen up.

"You could say it hasn't really started from a goals point of view, but for me it's just trying to get back to working hard and playing for the team.

"I think I've matured quite a bit in the three years I have been here. The gaffer has said he's seen that on and off the pitch with recovery, taking on information during games and the way I play. For example, if I wasn't in the team previously, I'd be angry and take it out during training.

"I wouldn't do everything properly but now the gaffer says 'you're going to be angry you're not in the team but what do you do from there?' Ultimately if I'm training well then I'll be the first one to come on and change the game.

"He will trust me if he knows I'm still taking on the information so ultimately it's to help me but also the team. If I'm angry and not paying attention then the information that he might give to me on the Friday, and I do something different, then it could cost us the game then I can't blame anyone but myself."
