Sheffield United: How Femi Seriki and Andre Brooks reacted to big Ryan One, Lincoln City moment | OneFootball

Sheffield United stars Femi Seriki and Andre Brooks have responded to Ryan One's full Lincoln City debut

Ryan Oné scored on his first Lincoln City start since joining the Imps on loan from Sheffield United last month - and his actions have caught the attention of Blades stars Femi Seriki and Andre Brooks.

Oné's opening goal helped Lincoln on their way to a 4-0 win over Northampton Town on Tuesday night, which ensured that Michael Skubala's men strengthened their grip on an automatic promotion spot in League One.

The Imps now sit second in the third tier, eight points clear of third-place Bolton Wanderers, who dropped points in a 1-1 draw at Reading.

Furthermore, Lincoln boast a game in hand over Wanderers, meaning that they could extend their lead over the Greater Manchester club to 11 points, and Oné will be looking to help bolster that before the end of the season

Femi Seriki and Andre Brooks respond as Ryan Oné shares message following full Lincoln City debut

Oné had previously performed well as a substitute for the Imps, scoring from the bench in their 4-1 victory at Plymouth Argyle on 7 February.

However, he had to wait until Tuesday's clash with Northampton to be handed his full debut by Skubala, featuring off the right flank instead of as a centre-forward, and repaid the faith instilled in him by his new boss.

Oné gave Lincoln the lead over the Cobblers in the 11th minute before second-half goals from Jack Moylan, Ivan Varfolomeev, and Rob Street secured a big League One win.

Meanwhile, following his full Imps debut, the 19-year-old took to Instagram on Wednesday as he wrote: "Full debut under the lights, we keep pushing."

Seriki commented: "Starboy", while Brooks said: "There we go."

Lincoln's triumph over Northampton means that they are just four points behind League One leaders Cardiff City, who enjoyed a 4-1 triumph over Wimbledon.

Lincoln City may look to seal further Ryan One transfer agreement if they achieve promotion to the Championship

Lincoln have done incredibly well to establish themselves as one of League One's powerhouses this season, having played their football in the National League as recently as 2017, while they sealed promotion from League Two to the third tier in 2019.

The Imps boast several players who are incredibly talented at League One level, including full-back duo Adam Reach and Tendayi Darikwa, as well as forwards such as Moylan and Freddie Draper.

However, there is a sizeable gap between the third tier and the Championship, which Skubala's men will have to bridge if they successfully finish in an automatic promotion spot.

Therefore, should Lincoln earn promotion to the second tier, they may look to extend Oné's time at Sincil Bank by making another loan agreement, with a permanent deal probably not on the horizon as he's highly rated by Chris Wilder at BRamall Lane.

The young forward has proven that he will be an asset for the Imps during their top-two push, while he boasts second-tier experience, thanks to his time with the Blades.

Furthermore, extending his time with Lincoln would be an ideal move for Oné's development, as United have several quality strikers among their ranks, including former England internationals Patrick Bamford and Danny Ings, as well as ex-Stoke City man Tyrese Campbell.
