Sheffield United's anticipated summer rebuild will deliver long-term success to the club.

That is the view of veteran head coach Chris Wilder, who recently came back to the club in mid-season.

While Wilder knows that relegation is likely this term, he believes they can come back even stronger in the future.

"The main window is in the summer. We've got a lot of boys out of contract and I'm super confident that we can rebuild," said Wilder about players such as Wes Foderingham, Adam Davies and Jordan Amissah.

"I still think this is a fabulous place to come and play football. Even now, I'm getting people talking to Tom Davies and he's saying: 'He's available and he's available'.

"This is a club that is still fighting and is still very attractive to come and play for. We get brilliant support at home and away and have had that right through my time here. Plus the way we coach and manage as well is attractive to players, whether they're loan players or permanent.

"I don't see an issue in attracting players – what we have to do is get the recruitment absolutely spot on and culturally get that right as well. That doesn't mean we're fishing one pond, but I'm super-confident that, medium to long term, we can nail that down. There's no reason why we can't do that, regardless of what division we're in."
