Wilder delighted with Osborn, Freeman for Sheffield Utd FA Cup win

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was delighted by the performances of fringe men Luke Freeman and Ben Osborn for their FA Cup win at Millwall.

United booked their place in Monday's fifth-round draw with a 2-0 win at The Den, thanks to goals from midfielders Mo Besic and man of the match Ollie Norwood.

Wilder said: "There were good performances from Ben and Luke. The boys have found it difficult to get into the team and it's not the easiest... when they go to a new club and want to play.

"But they showed their characters. Any opportunity they had to get forward, they took and I was delighted for them.

"I enjoyed today... really, really enjoyed it."
