Charlie Goode’s deadline-day loan arrival from Brentford completed United’s incoming business early on the final day of the window, having signed Adam Davies as Robin Olsen’s replacement earlier in January.
The Blades also brought back Daniel Jebbison from his loan spell at Burton Albion, while allowing Lys Mousset and Luke Freeman to move out on temporary deals to Salernitana and Millwall respectively.
Earlier in the window Michael Verrips and Oli Burke also departed, while Adlène Guedioura’s short time at Bramall Lane came to an end earlier this week when an agreement to terminate his contract was reached.
Regan Slater also departed for Hull City, with a determination to play regular first-team football a driving force behind the decision to leave his hometown club.
So, as United approach a few-month period that could be seismic in the future of the football club as they look to make an instant return to the Premier League following relegation last season, what is their strongest XI, when all (or nearly all) their players are fully fit, healthy and available?
Our man Danny Hall had a go, but couldn’t just pick 11 players – so here is Sheffield United’s strongest matchday 18 squad, in his eyes. Let us know which of his selections you would agree and disagree with, and your strongest XI, through our social media channels.
9. Morgan Gibbs-White
It's incredibly tough on Iliman Ndiaye to leave him out of this side, but Gibbs-White's few more years of experience does sometimes shine through compared to his young teammate. His goals and assists this season speak for themselves Photo: Alistair Langham
11. Rhian Brewster
United's record signing has shown glimpses of what he brings to the table this season - unfortunately for him, he's twice then picked up an injury to disrupt his promising form. Given a run of games alongside Sharp, he would surely shine Photo: David Klein
12. Subs: Adam Davies
