The Blades trailed from the 10th minute but McBurnie’s volleyed strike sparked jubilant scenes in the away end and on the pitch. Neither side could go on to find a winner as United added two more injuries to their growing list of concerns.
Here’s how we rated Paul Heckingbottom’s men at Kenilworth Road…
5. Rhys Norrington-Davies 6
Lined up against his former loan club and was given a torrid time early on by Morris, who seemed to seek him out and looked to dominate him physically. Saw his night ended prematurely through injury but can be pleased with his evening's work Photo: David Klein
6. Max Lowe 6
Had a volley in the first half which hit the top of the stand rather than the net, which rather summed up United's first half display in one moment. But improved in the second Photo: David Klein
7. Ollie Norwood
A man in form, after scoring a stunning free-kick last time out and registering an assist the game before that. So integral to how United go about their business, he has to play Photo: Darren Staples
8. Sander Berge 6
Wasn't able to dominate the game as he and United would have liked and too often turned back and slowed the game down rather than driving forward. But also showed some bright moments Photo: David Klein
