Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits signing James McAtee just became more difficult.

McAtee hit the winner against Brentford yesterday.

Wilder said of the on-loan Manchester City attacker: "Is he for sale? I don't know. I think his price might have gone up a little bit after today!

"But do you know what? He's a great kid. He wanted to come and play his football here. He could have had an easier ride, an easier pathway. He could have gone into the Championship and played, but he wanted to come here and I think that was because of what happened last year and how much he enjoyed it and enjoys it here.

"It's a great finish and I thought he was outstanding again. Yet again he's just he just ran out of puff; a few of them ran out of puff a little bit. Even at the end the boys were out there - Egan was there, Tom Davies was out there, the young boys. We're a together group; that's something I've quickly found out.

"They might realise that if they're sat in the changing room, thinking about themselves, they're not going to be a part of this. They're a good group to work with. There's still a hell of a long way to go, it's a small step for us. But one that we can enjoy tonight."
