Nigel Adkins dismissed suggestions Adams would be sold during the January window when the subject was raised before his team’s visit to Blackpool a week ago and sources last night confirmed the teenager’s future in South Yorkshire was never discussed by either the United manager or his staff.

Adams, aged 19, lost his place in Adkins’ starting eleven when he was sent-off against Oldham Athletic earlier this term but made his 23rd appearance of the season at Bloomfield Road.

The former Ilkeston attacker, who recently signed a new long-term contract, is expected to be named in the United squad which hosts Wigan Athletic on Saturday.
