Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom could lose his job in the coming days.

The newly promoted Premier League club have been suffering so far this season.

Now a report from The Mail states the Sheffield United manager could be axed this weekend.

Heckingbottom is on borrowed time at the club, with a loss to Arsenal on Saturday set to seal his fate.

Chris Wilder, the former Blades boss, is waiting in the wings to take over when that occurs.

Wilder has patched up the fractious relationship he had with owner Prince Abdullah.

The Blades have lost eight of their last nine matches, which has led to this decision.
