Revealed: The TWO transfer deals the bookmakers are tipping Sheffield United to target in January

Chris Wilder and co have until 11pm on Monday, February 1, to finalise their business ahead of the second half of the 2020/21 season.

Indeed, the United boss Wilder has confirmed he wants to add to his squad as they fight to retain their top-flight status.

We take a look at the two deals the bookies are tipping the Blades to target this month:

Jesse Lingard – 2/1

The 28-year-old has fallen way down the pecking order at Manchester United, despite starting in their 1-0 win against Watford in the FA Cup on Saturday evening.

Lingard has been widely linked with Sheffield United and is known to be on Wilder’s wanted list but the 53-year-old isn’t the only admirer.

As recently as Sunday, Inter Milan were credited with interest in the England midfielder, while Newcastle United have also been mentioned.

For a deal to happen, it is also believed a compromise is needed on both sides in terms of his wages, which is rumoured to be £100,000-a-week.

What Blades fans can take confidence from however, is the bookmakers placing their club as favourites to win the Lingard race.

Danny Rose – 8/1

Rose hasn’t played a competitive game since appearing for Newcastle United in July against Liverpool during his half-season loan on Tyneside.

Indeed, the England left-back has been frozen out by Jose Mourinho at Tottenham Hotspur after he was omitted from their 25-man squad.

The exclusion has left the 30-year-old in desperate need of a move that will revive his career, which could happen either this month or in the summer when his contract expires.

Spurs will likely command a small fee, should the Blades or any other club for that matter, decide to make a move before the deadline.

Rose isn’t a name who has been directly linked with a switch to Bramall Lane – nor is he believed to be on Wilder’s watchlist – but his experience at both club and country certainly counts.
