Oli McBurnie scored the only goal at Wembley in the Championship play-off final to propel Hull City to the Premier League. The former Sheffield United striker's form this season has been sensational. The Championship's second top scorer, seven assists and 40 chances created. And he would have been back in a Blades shirt had former boss Ruben Selles not turned down the opportunity to re-sign him last summer when McBurnie was a free agent, having returned from Spain and Las Palmas. Of course, there is no knowing how McBurnie would have fared in the chaos at the Lane. But Blades fans, and boss Chris Wilder, who has publicly said he would have signed him again, are left to ponder what might have been.
Summary:
- Oli McBurnie admits he wasn't ready for his big Premier League move to Sheffield United.
- Maturity, he says, has helped him to grow into the role that has made him a key figure in Hull City's remarkable rise in less than 12 months, from almost rock bottom in the Championship to the Premier League.
- Despite a challenging times at Bramall Lane, McBurnie ultimately won over the fans.
