United's players reported no ill-effects from their behind-closed-doors outing against Bury in midweek, according to Blades boss Wilder ahead of Saturday's trip to Millwall.

United scheduled the game at their Steelphalt Academy training base to give some of their players out of Wilder's side some game time, with Leon Clarke, Conor Washington, Ben Woodburn, Richard Stearman and Paul Coutts amongst those in action.

And Wilder, ahead of this weekend's trip to The Den, said: 'It's been a good positive week, after a game last weekend against Preston that we had to win twice.

'Everyone in the behind-closed-doors game got 90 minutes '“ we put a really strong side out and it was a competitive game. That was good, and now all the focus turns to Saturday.'
