Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom faced more questions about his job on Sunday.

The head coach is finding the Premier League a very tough environment to handle at present.

After his team were beaten 8-0 by Newcastle United at home in the league on Sunday, Heckingbottom faced intense questioning by reporters.

Asked if he will be in charge for the next game, Heckingbottom replied: “One hundred per cent. Listen, this [speculation about his future] might be a thing now by the looks of it. I can't answer any of that. The game I can; the players, my department, no problem. The staff. But questions like that, you are asking the wrong man."

“It has affected a lot of people and there were tears on the pitch before the game," Heckingbottom added on the recent passing of women's midfielder and marketing executive Maddy Cusack.

“We were determined to end what has been a really tough week strongly and we weren't able to do that. It's been a tough week for everyone at the club and one we want over."
