McBurnie out to prove a point
Scotland striker Oli McBurnie is hoping to prove his doubters wrong after leaving Swansea City to join Sheffield United for their Premier League return.
The 23-year-old Scotland international becomes the fourth player signed by the Blades this summer who has cost a new club record fee, having put pen to paper on a four-year contract at Bramall Lane.
As a striker you've always got to have confidence in yourself.

McBurnie failed to find the net for the Swans during their time in the top-flight, but netted 22 times in the Championship last season to show what he is capable of.
And the Leeds-born frontman is determined to keep up the good work, having followed Luke Freeman, Phil Jagielka, Callum Robinson, Ravel Morrison, Lys Mousset, Ben Osborn and Dean Henderson into the Blades' arrivals lounge.
McBurnie told the official website of his now former club: "People questioned whether I could score goals in the Championship and I proved them wrong.
"Now I've got people saying the same thing being said about scoring in the Premier League, so it's a case of doing the same again.
"As a striker you've always got to have confidence in yourself and, after the previous experience I've had of the top-flight and Championship, I believe I can prove the doubters wrong again."
McBurnie has won seven caps for Scotland to date, having made his debut against Costa Rica in March 2018.
Meanwhile, the Blades are 4/6 to be relegated this season, while they are 6/5 to avoid the drop straight back down to the Championship.
