These Blades fans have been reacting to some footage of a certain member of the squad from this season.

And there are some people who seem to be running out of words to describe him.

Sunday marked the 29th birthday for Oliver Norwood. The Northern Ireland international has been a crucial part of our team in the past two seasons, playing 43 times during our promotion campaign and starting every single game of this one, taking the captain’s armband plenty of times along the way.

And whilst he may not have the best numbers in terms of goals and assists, with only 6 and 9 respectively since he joined, he is very instrumental in the way that the team plays, averaging the most passes with 55.7 per game for a completion rate of 81.1% as per WhoScored.

Should Norwood be the club's captain next season?

Yes

Yes

No

No

So when the club put out a montage of his season so far, there were plenty of fans who flocked to social media to pass on their thoughts about how well he’s been doing during his first campaign in the top flight.

A future permanent captain in the making perhaps?
