Wilder's first league match came on August 6, 2016 away at Bolton Wanderers' Macron Stadium and resulted in a 1-0 loss that was an anomaly in what would become the 100 point season.

The Blades breezed through League One in the ex United defender's first campaign in charge, confirming their status as champions and hitting the century point marker by beating Chesterfield 3-2 in front of 31,003 fans at Bramall Lane.

Last season brought new challenges in the Championship but 19 wins helped the team on the way to a commendable 10th place finish.

The standout result last term was the 4-2 win at Hillsborough in the Steel City Derby, which will live long in the memory for Blades fans who will be hoping for a repeat when the two sides meet during this campaign.

Can Wilder lead the Blades to another promotion before he hits 150 league games as manager?
