Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom has confirmed interest in Manchester City attacker James McAtee.

Speaking to Yorkshire Live, Heckingbottom refused to be drawn into discussing details of the deal but did reveal that he is a player they are aware of due to the level of quality he has.

He said: "He's not our player, but he's someone who we know, who I have seen play and who lots of people have seen play, whether it's been moments for City or for England.

"But yeah, he's a good player. He handles the ball fantastic, he has good quality on the ball.

"That's why he's at Man City."
