George Baldock has received praise from Premier League legend with Alan Shearer naming him in his Team of the Week for the second week running.
The 26-year-old has played every game in the Premier League for the Blades this season and has made a solid impact from his right wing-back position,
Here’s what some fans had to say about his inclusion:

If he could add goals to his game he’d be one of the best in England ??

Al must have missed the incredibly bad slice shot ? had a great game still though

He was a constant menace against West Ham and should have ended the game with a goal, but he blasted his shot straight at Roberto when well-placed (1:00).
Despite this, though, Shearer thought he was good enough to be in his Team of the Week, and some Blades supporters were delighted for Baldock.
He’ll be getting in the England squad next!!

Amazed me so far this season. Working his balls off and a proper pro ??

What do we think?
Baldock has become a crucial player for Chris Wilder, who has developed him into a quality right-back.
This season he has one assist, and if he keeps getting into positions as he did on Saturday, then surely some goals will follow. He’s a very well-rounded full-back which is proven by his stats so far this season as he’s averaged 1.8 tackles and 2.9 clearances per game, as well as placing in the top three and top nine for the Blades in crosses per game and passing percentage respectively (0.8 & 79.1, via WhoScored).
