Sheffield United transfer news: Blades 'linked' with England as defender 'target' set for Boca move

Sheffield United were defeated by Manchester City in the Premier League yesterday.

But Chris Wilder says his side have rediscovered their identity despite the loss to Pep Guardiola’s men.

City went ahead early in the game when Gabriel Jesus took advantage of some sloppy defending to convert from close range in the ninth minute, but United stayed in the game and could have got back into it when John Fleck's volley went just wide of the post.

And Wilder, whose side face relegation rivals West Bromwich Albion at Bramall Lane on Tuesday night, said: "There's no pat on the back for a defeat but I think there's a manner to do it."

In terms of transfers, it remains quiet on that front with the bookies tipping the Blades as outsiders to sign a left-back who looks set for a move abroad
