The latest Sheffield United news as we enter the week of the new Championship season recommencing.
The Blades have been kept busy this summer with plenty of interest in their players after missing out on promotion to the Premier League last season and one player who has already left Bramall Lane is Vini Souza to Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.
