Chris Wilder discusses Sheffield United's European pursuit and chasing Manchester United's Dean Henderson in surprise call to fan during coronavirus lockdown

As part of BT's Team Talk campaign, Wilder video-called Anna Hill, a Blade who worked in social housing for a chat about, amongst other things, her work during the Covid-19 crisis and her belief that Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, should 'disappear' so Wilder can win the Premier League manager of the year award!

But during the call to Anna, who lives in Peterborough, Wilder also briefly discussed United's pursuit of a place in Europe and revealed he is trying to sign Henderson, the goalkeeper who has impressed in both the Championship and Premier League since signing on loan from the Red Devils.

Wilder added: "It's important in these tough times that we all stay connected and we talk right the way through this pandemic."
