Graeme Souness says he'd buy a season ticket for Sheffield United after watching their 3-3 draw with Manchester United.

The Blades were up 2-0 and all over United before a stunning comeback from the visitors put them ahead, only for Oli McBurnie to equalise at the death

Speaking after the game, Souness compared Chris Wilder's side to Spanish giants Barcelona.

"I think they are a great watch," he told Sky Sports. "For 70 minutes I was really enjoying how they were playing.

"They go long when they have to. It was only when Mousset went off they didn't stretch United back so much, allowing United to squeeze up, and that is when they came right into the game.

"John Fleck said in his interview that they don't have the quality of the other teams. I disagree with that because as well as going long at the right times, there were times when they were like Barcelona in tight areas.

"They have got great qualities, they really have."
