Sheffield United boss Bryan Robson says Manchester United fullback Phil Bardsley has fitted in quickly since his loan arrival this week.
"Phil is a good pro and has come here to perform," Robson told the official Sheffield United website.
Bardsley has found first team openings limited at Old Trafford, but has already caught his new manager's eye in his short time training with the Blades.
Robson said: "He's fitted in with the lads straight away and he goes straight into contention for Saturday.
"It's important for me that Phil brings the right balance to the back four. He is a specialised full-back and that creates a more defensive sound unit."
