Sheffield United have begun their search to replace Nigel Clough as manager.

The League One club parted ways with Clough on Monday and have immediately commenced the hunt for an apt replacement.

Reports suggest that Bradford City boss Phil Parkinson tops a list which also features departing Brentford manager Mark Warburton.

Parkinson guided the Bantams to a seventh-place finish in the third tier of English football while also taking them to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Warburton leaves Griffin Park this summer after guiding the London club to the Championship play-off semi-finals where they were beaten by Middlesbrough.
