Just in : United boss makes changes for the final Premier League game

United boss Chris Wilder makes three changes to his side for the final Premier League game of the season against Tottenham Hotspur.

Max Lowe, playing in his final game for the club, Anel Ahmedhodžić and Ben Osborn all return with Yasser Larouci, Vini Souza and Andre Brooks dropping to the bench.

Oli McBurnie returns from injury to take his place on the bench alongside fellow striker Daniel Jebbison who is back in a squad for the first time this season.

Kick-off at Bramall Lane is 4pm.

Blades: Foderingham, Lowe, Trusty, Hamer, Archer, Brereton Diaz, Ahmedhodžić, Robinson, Bogle, Osborn, Arblaster.
Subs: A. Davies, Brewster, McBurnie, Souza, Larouci, McAtee, Holgate, Brooks, Jebbison.

Tottenham: Vicario, Drăgușin, Son, Maddison, Romero, Kulusevski, Johnson, Porro, Sarr, Bentancur, van de Ven.
Subs: Austin, Whiteman, Skipp, Højbjerg, Gil, Royal, Scarlett, Moore, Donley.

Blades offer McBurnie new contract on reduced terms

The forward’s current deal expires this summer, and Chris Wilder looks set to offer his man a new contract, but on reduced terms, as his side look to re-adjust to Championship football.

McBurnie suffered a groin injury last month, but Nixon reported that he has recovered well, and could be in contention for Scotland’s Euro squad this summer.

His Premier League season did not start in a positive fashion, as he received a red card against Tottenham Hotspur on September 16th, before he had managed to score a goal this campaign.

But by October, the ace found himself on the scoresheet, as he equalised for his side from the penalty spot during a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United.

He also scored in a 3-1 loss to Bournemouth in November, but by December he was on the receiving end of a red card once more, as the Blades were crushed 5-0 by fellow relegated side Burnley.

The 2023/24 campaign has provided few happy memories for the Bramall Lane faithful, but McBurnie’s 93rd minute equaliser against Chelsea last month will live on as a poignant moment in an otherwise miserable season.
