Sheffield Utd midfielder Lundstram: Everton release was (maybe) right call

Sheffield United midfielder John Lundstram was delighted with his brace in victory over Burnley.

Lundstram is happy to be proving himself at Premier League level.

"I've had a lot of knock-backs along the way," Lundstram said.

"It hasn't been easy, but it's a journey I wouldn't change. I'm at the top now and hopefully I can stay there.

"It's a hard one because I always believed I could play at the top. But at the same time the position I was in last year it didn't seem that I could. I went away over the summer and worked unbelievably hard to give myself the best chance I could."

On being released by Everton, he added: "You grow as a person and as a player and maybe at the time when I was let go by Everton, I wasn't ready. I didn't think that at the time, but looking back, maybe they were right."
