Although no deal to rename Bramall Lane is thought to be imminent, officials behind the scenes admit that they are open to considering any proposal that may be received as they look to capitalise on the commercial benefits that being in the Premier League will bring.
Earlier, at Bramall Lane, United co-owner Kevin McCabe, manager Chris Wilder and skipper Billy Sharp were in attendance as a sponsorship deal with USG, a global multi-asset broker, was announced.
