The Chile international scored on his Premier League debut for the Blades in a 2-2 draw with West Ham and then followed that up with a goal in the opening seconds agaist Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Brereton Diaz has been delighted with how he has settled in in South Yorkshire and is hopeful for more games and more goals off the back of his award, which was voted for by fans.

"It's been a great start - all the lads have been brilliant towards me, the staff and the fans so it's been a dream start for me really in the Premier League with Sheffield United, so it's been great," he told SUTV. "[The goal against West Ham was] a proud moment for myself and my family, I was just happy to get off the mark as soon as possible and to show my new team and new fans what I am about, so that was good. I'm looking forward to many games to come. On the goal at Palace he added: "It was a pretty mad start to the game, in 20 seconds going 1-0 up, that was the fastest goal I have ever scored. It was a great moment to follow on from the West Ham game, I really enjoyed it and happy to get off the mark again."
