Alex Greenwood's glee as Lionesses star returns to Bramall Lane to see Sheffield United earn 2-0 win over Millwall to kickstart promotion bid

Alex Greenwood roared approval from the stands as Sheffield United swept Millwall aside to kick-start their promotion bid.

The Lionesses star helped Sarina Wiegman’s team to Euro 2022 glory and came on as a substitute when they thumped Sweden 4-0 in last month’s semi-final at Bramall Lane, which also hosted three group games during the tournament.

Manchester City defender Greenwood, 28, was a guest of honour for this match and watched alongside partner Jack O’Connell, the popular Blades player who is currently injured.
