Sheffield United striker Oliver McBurnie is backing teammate Jack O'Connell for an England call.

McBurnie admits he's happy to call the Blades back four as teammates.

He told the Sheffield Star: “I always seemed to do well against us when I played for another team.

“To be honest, though, I'm not sure why because I never enjoyed coming up against these lads.

“Jack (O'Connell) is a nightmare; just so strong and powerful. I'm not going to be surprised if he gets a call up (for England) pretty soon. John (Egan) doesn't give you a yard. Enda (Stevens) and George (Baldock) just keep going all day long and Bash (Chris Basham) has got snake hips. He just does what he does and keeps powering through all the time as well.

“So I don't mind saying I'm glad that I'm on the same side as them now."
