Here’s some key dos and don’ts the Blades could consider for their grand return to the English top tier...
1. DO keep the squad core
United have got a powerful backbone of players who've worked their socks off to play top tier football, and their hunger for the big time will serve the Blades well next season. Photo: Nathan Stirk
2. DON'T give the big boys too much respect
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are all there to be got at, especially on the road, and Wilder's side should look to rattle a few cages rather than be intimated by the big reputation clubs Photo: IAN KINGTON
3. DON'T radically change tactics
Many teams park the bus when they get into the Premier League, but United have enough about them to play with a bit of flair next season. Perhaps not gung ho, but not ten men behind the ball either! Photo: Nathan Stirk
4. DO make Bramall Lane a fortress
Blades fans need to be the 12th man next season, and Bramall Lane needs to become a searing cauldron that opposition players fear. Picking up those points at home is a must, too. Photo: Jan Kruger
