Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits they'll again work the loan market in January.

Manchester City loanee James McAtee proved the matchwinner against Brentford on Saturday.

"In big moments it's crucial," said Wilder, "and it's something from 2016 we've looked at. Paul did in terms of Gibbs-White, and Doyle and McAtee last year, and we did with Deano.

"It's a great place for young players to come and learn the trade. We know there's bigger clubs out there but for them big boys to trust us as a football club, know that we'll treat them right, work with them and try and add to their experience of playing football and be better players when they go back, is important. We have to keep on doing the right things and be that football club that allows us to go and look at that market because it's an important market for you.

"Pep [Guardiola, City manager] will have been watching Saturday's game. They've got their finger on the pulse and they'll understand their stats and whatever that they get back. They're diligent in their work.

"The good thing is that clubs like Manchester City and Manchester United and other top, top clubs are interested in sending their best young players to us and we look after them the right way. McAtee's a player and it's been a difficult first few months for him here. So I'm delighted for him and delighted for the team."
