Sheffield United captain Ollie Norwood has slammed the sack talk around manager Paul Heckingbottom.

Norwood proved the matchwinner against Wolves on Saturday.

“It's massively disrespectful, to speak about people losing their jobs," the midfielder told the Sheffield Star. “The job he's done since he came to the football club has been incredible. You guys [in the media] know everything that's been going on – embargoes and different bits and bats – but he's got on with the job and has never faded away from the responsibility.

“He's got our backing as players and I don't think you've seen anyone throw the towel in and not play for him. I think that speaks volumes for the respect we have for the manager.

"It's wrong for people outside to do what they have been doing, but if you don't win that's what happens and it's up to us players to sort it out."
