Sheffield United chief Stephen Betts admits they face selling their best players when relegated.

Cameron Archer will return to parent club Aston Villa, with Vini Souza and Anel Ahmedhodzic also likely to leave.

"Yes, and it's also a realism as well that there'll probably be a couple of players who don't want to play in the Championship," Betts admitted to the Sheffield Star.

"At that point it's about us doing the right business with them. I can see one or two leaving in the summer, yeah.

"Without going into detail, we did a few good deals with players ... good business deals which protect the club if we go down as well."
