SHEFFIELD UNITED will keep striker Oli McBurnie for the Premier League next season — when THREE of their top stars are in the last year of their deals.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side secured promotion back to the top division via a second place finish when they beat West Brom 2-0 on Wednesday.
And the club are planning on retaining several of their key players for next term.
McBurnie sees his deal run out this summer but the Blades are taking up the option of retaining him for another campaign.
Meanwhile, Sander Berge and Iliman Ndiaye are signed up until next year.
Both are likely to want to carry on in the top-flight’s big shop window and become free agents after that.

The player was close to joining either Newcastle or Fulham during the January transfer window, but he chose to stay with Sheffield United.
