Peterborough United owner Darragh MacAnthony offers update on expected Sheffield United signing Harrison Burrows
Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has provided an updated on the protracted signning of Harrison Burrows, with Sheffield United expected to announce the player’s arrival at Bramall Lane imminently.
Burrows is understood to have completed his medical at United but the official announcement of his joining the Blades squad has yet to be made.
Responding to a message on X, formerly twitter, MacAnthony stated that Burrows’ move is now out of their hands.
He posted: “Just for clarity: We accepted formal bid Sunday, Player passed medical Wednesday, signed long term deal, we signed our forms & now down to buying club to submit/announce formally. Thats the process and how it works. Cheers.”
Burrows would become Sheffield United’s fifth signing of the summer window with Jamie Shackleton, Sam McCallum, Kieffer Moore and Callum O’Hare already through the door.
Blades fans had been hopeful that Burrows would be in in time for the highly-rated left-sided player to make his debut in Saturday’s pre-season friendly against Rotherham United at the New York Stadium.
Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony insists Man City “will win” their Premier League financial fair play case.
The Citizens lifted their fourth consecutive Premier League title last season with Pep Guardiola’s side deserving of another title after a relentless finish to the season
The club could face a points deduction or even expulsion from the competition if found guilty but Man City have vociferously denied any wrongdoing and vowed to fight their case.
To many critics of the club, which is supported by the vast wealth of owner Sheikh Mansour, the Premier League charges cast a shadow over their success.
But Peterborough chairman MacAnthony insists he doesn’t think Man City will “have as big a problem as everyone thinks” and will prove that they are innocent of the allegations.
Pushed on why he thinks that, he added: “Because I think they’ll have the best in business. I think they are probably very confident about what they are doing. They’ve won previously when they’ve had issues and bans and stuff, they’ve had them overturned.
