Sheffield United are aware of the footage in question but declined to comment. McBurnie did not feature in the fixture, in which Morgan Gibbs-White and John Fleck forced extra-time after winger Brennan Johnson made it 3-1 to the hosts on aggregate.Striker McBurnie joined the Blades in August of 2019 on a four-year deal for a fee of £17.5million having impressed with Swansea in the second tier.The former Bradford City man has scored seven goals across his 87 league outings for the club, who were relegated last year, and is yet to find the net in 16 appearances for his country.In an unrelated incident on the pitch, a man was arrested following an assault on Blades skipper Billy Sharp.After the match, manager Paul Heckingbottom had said: "We've seen one of our players attacked."Bill was minding his own business off the pitch, trying to get our players away."He was blindsided, it was cowardly.
