Free agents Sheffield United could sign - including ex-Leeds United and Sunderland stars and a man who shackled Ronaldo
With eight games of their Championship campaign to go, Sheffield United are fifth in the table and looking like decent value to secure a place in the end-of-season play-offs.
The biggest threat to their promotion ambitions this season is surely their mounting injury list, which has seen the entire right side of their defence decimated and a number of strikers ruled out for varying lengths of time.
United looked at free agent Andre Wisdom but decided against signing him, although Heckingbottom admits United are “serious” about bringing a free agent in.
So we scoured the free agent market to pick out 12 players who could possibly do a job for United – click through our photo gallery to have a look ...

Formerly of these shores with Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Leeds and Hull, the American last played for Fatih Karagümrük in Turkey’s top flight and has 16 caps for his country. Plays at right-back and can operate on the left Photo: Shaun Botterill
Still only 26, the Spaniard can play right back or right wing – an ideal skillset, you could suggest, to play wing-back in United’s system. Last seen at Real Betis and a Spain U21 international who shackled Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. in victory at Real Madrid in 2017. But hasn’t played for 18 months so would have to have kept himself in superb nick! Photo: AFP Contributor
