SHEFFIELD UNITED star Oli McBurnie is set to be in hot water with the FA after appearing to make an obscene gesture at Cardiff fans yesterday.
McBurnie, 23, roared on his old side Swansea from the away end at Cardiff City Stadium in the South Wales derby.

He was pictured taunting Bluebirds supporters during the 0-0 draw.
The FA is normally reluctant to take action on photographs alone.
Yet the clear nature of the Scotland forward’s gesture suggests a sanction is almost certain.
That could be a formal FA charge and fine for bringing the game into disrepute although that is thought to be unlikely.
But McBurnie will likely face a reprimand and warning from the Wembley beaks, as well as from his Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder, for his misbehaviour.
McBurnie scored the Blades’ winner over West Ham on Friday night.
He spent four years at Swansea before joining newly-promoted Blades last summer for £20million.
The Bramall Lane club declined to comment when SunSport contacted them last night.
Cardiff fans were also embroiled in a bust-up with stewards during a fiery derby.
The 0-0 draw leaves the Bluebirds 12th in the table – four points behind rivals Swansea who are seventh.
