Sheffield United's Rhian Brewster determined to build on early promise after winning World Cup with England

Brewster's journey home from India was documented in a YouTube film, showing him sitting on a park bench just two days after returning home and talking about England's remarkable success, which saw them beat Spain 5-2 in the final and young Brewster win the Golden Boot.

Brewster became the latest graduate from the class of 2017 to make his Premier League debut, when he joined Sheffield United from Liverpool in the last transfer window.

And the striker, now 20 and an England U21 international, admits the memory will live with him for a long time after his £23m move to Bramall Lane.

"It was an amazing feeling, something that I will never, ever forget," Brewster admitted.

"It's one of a kind, because you don't win World Cups every day, do you?

"It was a great achievement, for me and also the team. It was a mad, crazy feeling."

England blitzed their group at the World Cup, scoring 11 times in their three games, before beating the USA and Brazil in the knockout stages.

After going 2-0 down in the final to Spain, England hit back to run out 5-2 winners and lift the trophy for the first time. Brewster scored in the final, and finished the tournament with eight goals - including a hat-trick against Brazil - to win the Golden Boot.

"I remember us going 2-0 down but sometimes, when that happens, you think 'oh no'. I never, ever felt like that," Brewster admitted.

"We came out for the second half and scored within about 10 minutes [to level at 2-2]. That's when I knew. I just had a feeling that it was going to be our day.

"When we got the third, fourth and then a fifth, it was crazy. It was just goal after goal in the second half. Like 'bang, bang, bang'.

"We didn't know what to do to celebrate because it was so unreal. To win the Golden Boot was an amazing achievement for me. "With all the countries that were there, to score the most in the whole tournament is something else I'll never forget."

Brewster made up a formidable forward line for England in that World Cup, with Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi and Jadon Sancho, now of Borussia Dortmund, also featuring.

Phil Foden, who won the Golden Ball as the best player in the tournament, was another member of the squad to have gone on to make a name for himself in the Premier League, and played against Brewster last weekend as Manchester City beat the Blades 1-0 at Bramall Lane.

"That age group was unbelievable and to have several of the squad play in the Premier League is brilliant," he said.

"Everyone's doing their little bit now, which is good to see."

Brewster's next ambition is to similarly establish himself at Premier League level.

Predigiously talented in front of goal, both Jurgen Klopp and Jordan Henderson expressed a mixture of sadness and delight when Brewster completed his move to Bramall Lane, with the Liverpool manager describing the striker as a “natural born goalscorer”.

“He is a coach’s dream, as he is so eager to learn, but also a beacon of positive energy," Klopp added.

"He had some really hard moments with us, but he never once lost belief and he was always someone who would light up a room, even when he experienced really tough times.

"We miss him, but we are delighted that he has found a fantastic home at Sheffield United.”

Klopp rates Brewster so highly that the Reds insisted that a significant buy-back clause was inserted into the deal which made him the most expensive player in the Blades' history. Klopp, a fan of the way that United and boss Chris Wilder operate, is thought to have endorsed the Blades to Brewster after recognising that his path to the Anfield first-team was blocked by more senior players.

Instead, Brewster completed his first 90 minutes in a United shirt against City - after making his full Premier League debut, ironically, at Anfield - and is still getting up to speed with United's system and the physicality of the top flight.

Boss Chris Wilder admitted when he signed Brewster that the youngster had been a little caught between U23 football and the first team at Anfield, which set him back a little.

But he withdrew from the England U21 squad during the recent international break so he could focus on acclimatising himself with life at Bramall Lane, and impressed the likes of George Baldock and Billy Sharp with his abilities in training.

Brewster could make his latest appearance in United colours this weekend when Wilder's men travel to Chelsea, still looking for their first victory of the Premier League campaign.

"Physically it's hard," Brewster added, when asked about his introduction to life in the Premier League.

"It's like another step up because it's so intense.

"You have to be good on the ball and off it as well, with the pressing and stuff. That's the big difference I've come across.

"I was happy to make my debut and now hopefully I can score some goals for the Blades... get some more appearances under my belt and finish as high as we can in the table."
