Sheffield Utd boss Wilder happy with transfer cash support

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder is delighted with the support he's received this summer market.

United, who play their third match of the new campaign at Aston Villa next week, had signed six new players during the summer window before Thursday's Carabao Cup tie at Burnley - with an estimated initial spend of around £16m.

“We don't have the same as most other teams, if not all of them, in this division," Wilder said.

“But that's not a complaint and I'm comfortable with the situation. In fact, I want to thank the owner for his backing because he's given me everything he can.

"If he could pump £200m at the drop of a hat into the team, then I'm sure he would. In fact I know he would, because everyone has seen how much he loves his football. But we can't do that. What we can do, though, and what he's done, is give me as much support as he possibly can and I'm thankful for it."
