Sheffield United have released a statement in response to a video which appears to show Oli McBurnie attacking a man and stamping on his phone in shocking scenes.
The video begins with someone calling out the striker before the man that is allegedly McBurnie approaches him - with the phone falling to the ground, still recording.
The subsequent scene shows McBurnie appearing to smash the device with his foot.
