Sheffield Utd boss Wilder happy to give Brereton Diaz winning debut

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was delighted to hand Ben Brereton Diaz a debut.

The loan signing from Villarreal was a second-half substitute in the 4-0 FA Cup win at Gillingham.

Wilder said: "He wanted to come. That was one of the biggest things for me.

"I want players to want to come here. It's been a whirlwind week. He's been flying back and forth from Spain. To get him on the pitch was good.

"It's been a very productive afternoon for us."
