Sheffield United transfer news: Burton Albion monitoring Blades youngster, Liverpool starlet nearing Blackburn Rovers switch

Sheffield United made it one win, one loss and one draw yesterday as they played out a thrilling 2-2 scoreline against Middlesbrough.

Despite taking the lead only minutes in through Sander Berge, an own goal by Ryan Giles and a brace for Chuba Akpom left the two teams level at full-time, as Chris Wilder faced his former club.

After an opening day defeat to Watford and a win over Millwall the following weekend, the Blades have four points from a possible nine and sit nineth in the Championship.

United now prepare to face Sunderland at Bramall Lane on Wednesday evening, with the Black Cats so far unbeaten in their long-awaited return to the second tier.
