Oliver Norwood is enjoying his football at Sheffield United.

The midfielder, 29, is on the brink of signing a new deal.

“Listen, it's always nice to show folk they were wrong about you," he says. “But I don't hold a grudge against anybody. They had their opinions about me and I had my own opinions about what I could do, but that's life and not everyone always agrees.

“The same probably goes for a lot of the other lads here as well. When we came up, everyone was going on about how we hardly had any experience of this division apart from Jags (Phil Jagielka) who has got hundreds of Premier League appearances under his belt.

“Mostly, we've all come up through the lower divisions and we've had to work for everything we've got. We've all had set backs so, to be where we are now, I think it's a great lesson for every young player and every young person out there to never give up. No matter what."
