If McBurnie had scored..

[Programmechap2]

...he would have been the first ever United player to score in 3 Premier league seasons.

BDTBL would have erupted!

 

[Hamandcheese]

It would've been one of the most well deserved goals I can remember

 

[From the pig end]

That would have been one of the biggest celebrated goals (that wasn't against the pigs) for a long long time.

 

[Jon Bon II]

I would have been on the pitch. Granted, it would have been half past 4 before I got there but I'd still have done it.

Has had a positive 30 mins vs City and was good again today.

Well done Ol .

I always had faith that you’d eventually see the light.

Welcome my brother, to the Oli Mac fan club

 

[GymClassHero]

Very pleased for Oli, absolutely ran his socks of today and linked up well with Archer. Very encouraging

 

[Revolution]

As regular readers of my posts will know, I am not a McBurnie fan, but he was very good today, again. Keep it up!

Absolute warrior today. Well done Oli

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

I've never been his biggest fan but he's been good so far this season and has led the front line as a leader. Well done Oli.

Oli showed he Is true. Captain material.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Excellent work today by McBurnie.

Always liked McBurnie though I admit he has made it a testing love for many over the years. Always had faith in the lad and thought he needed to grow up. Think he has done. Luckily the club have stood by him and we deserve each other. Very underrated player when injury free cos he's a pain in the arse for defenders.

Offer him anything like reasonable and he's the sort of lad who appreciates loyalty and will sign up again as he has grown up and is settled. Works so hard and we are a better team when he plays well. Give hima long term contract.

 

[Slim Man]

He was sublime today

 

[Davalon]

Fantastic performance today. One of his best imho.

Huge if true.

 

[BritishSteel]

If he had scored i would imagine a surge in babies born early next summer called Ollie.

 

[Houston_Blade]

The stark contrast between the time he’s been on the pitch and the time he hasn’t this season is incredible. We’re like a different team with him on.

Exactly this. Seems to have matured a lot and he seems a slightly calmer presence on the pitch as a result, not in terms of losing his edge, which he needs, but in picking his fights a bit more carefully and concentrating on the things he is very good at. I can’t remember him giving the ball away today, even when he was under bags of pressure.

We need to wrap him in cotton wool and make sure he's injury free until January.

Hopefully new transfer window we can get a similar striker to take the pressure off.

Brilliant today.
