Sheffield Utd hero Asaba: McBurnie key for Prem survival

Sheffield United favourite Carl Asaba has heaped praise on a current star.

The club legend described current Blades striker Oli McBurnie as a dream forward for any manager.

McBurnie is back in the Blades' squad after a recent absence due to injuries.

They are two players [McBurnie and Cameron Archer] who know their positions and what they can do and recognise what the other can do," Asaba said on the BBC's Blades Heaven podcast.

It was interesting listening to Cameron speak about getting around Oli. He knows Oli has a great touch and can hold the ball up, and he put the emphasis on himself.

I know what he's going to do, what can I do to affect it? Archer is just a livewire, he's brilliant to watch. He's really exciting. His movement for the goals was brilliant and his finishing wow. He is deserving so far of that number 10. Big shoes to fill but you don't start any better than he has done."
