Sheffield Utd boss Wilder challenges players ahead of Man Utd clash

Sheffield United's players have been challenged to play like men against Manchester United on Wednesday.

The Red Devils host Sheffield United with the hopes of pushing for a top six finish in the league.

However, the Blades have their own concerns, as they know a miracle is needed to avoid relegation.

“Unfortunately [the last game was] in lockdown, which was disappointing," manager Chris Wilder said.

“Going back to that period, and I stand by it ... the involvement of the crowd is the biggest thing. A packed house at Old Trafford is a special place to go and for no one to personally watch it, it was a hollow win. It was a win but without the supporters.

“This time, we have to stay positive and look at what we can do and address what we can't do. It's a fabulous place to go. There's no downside to going to Old Trafford, going toe to toe with world class players on an incredible stage.

“See what we can do. I'm sure there'll be respect there, regardless of position and we expect a top performance from Man United and work off that. We're looking to recover from the disappointment and there's no hiding place. Go in there and put on a proper man performance. If we get 15 or 16 of those, who knows what can happen."
