Sheffield Utd boss Wilder on quit rumours: It's head down and onto next game

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has denied social media claims he's set to resign.

The Blades are bottom of the table with Wilder under increasing pressure.

But Wilder said today: "First of all I don't do social media, it's been another tough week in what has been a tough season for all of us - there's always rumours and speculation in football and I don't really deal in that.

"I am the Sheffield United manager but rumours and speculation whenever you win or whenever you lose, nothing surprises you in the game but as far as I am concerned it's head down and on to the next game that's all I am keen to talk about."

On the public support from owner Prince Abdullah, he added: "I respect that, but I am moving on. I appreciate that support when it was given, as always I am on to the next game and that's been the focus preparing the players for the next game any manager or head coach that's how it works and you move on.

"We have to get some results it hasn't been good enough and a struggle as you can imagine. The focus is on the next game as it has been and always will be."
