Manchester City hot shot James McAtee has rejoined Sheffield United on loan for this season.

The 20-year-old, who featured 43 times for the Blades last season, will not be with City's senior squad.

Despite having a great loan spell and helping the Blades earn promotion, McAtee would have been a reserve at City under boss Pep Guardiola.

The club website has now confirmed his move to Sheffield United, where he won the Young Player of the Year award.

He will get a chance to show whether he is good enough to start regularly in the Premier League.

City will be watching the youngster closely, as he is still one they feel has long-term first team potential.
