Wilder has signed a four-and-a-half year deal with the Blades, until the summer of 2024, with the club also holding an option to extend that by another year.

Prince Abdullah commented: "Chris has played an integral role in our recent and current success and we want him at the helm in the future, driving us forward, hence the new long-term contract.

“He is a dynamic leader, with whom the supporters connect and it is important that we have someone of his stature leading this club on the field. January is a very important month but securing the signature of Chris was paramount and underpins all the plans we have for the club over the next few years."

Alan Knill, Wilder’s assistant manager, has also signed a new deal at United.
