Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder confirms ex-Manchester City and Sunderland star Jack Rodwell is training with the Blades
and live on Freeview channel 276
The former Manchester City and Sunderland man is without a club after leaving Blackburn in the summer, and recently failed in a bid to earn a contract with AS Roma.
Rodwell can operate in both defence and midfield - an attractive quality for United as they look to strengthen both areas in January.

"We know about Jack. He's without a club at the moment after a couple of experiences in Italy.
"As you've seen in the past, David McGoldrick came in for a few days as well. Jack is looking at us, and we're looking at Jack.
"He's a very, very talented player who should be playing in the Premier League regularly but, for one reason or another, he isn't.

"But he's obviously a talent because of the teams he's played for. He's looking for a home, and it's something that might develop along the way."
The midfielder started his career with Everton before signing for Manchester City for £12m in August 2012.
He made 16 appearances for City and joined Sunderland in August 2014 for a fee of around £10m but was plagued by injuries which limited him to just 67 games in four seasons.
