Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder plans to buy in January.

Wilder is still smarting from last night's defeat to Newcastle United.

He said today: "There's always a short, medium and long-term plan for this football club. We're going through that process at the moment, we have to," he said.

“It's important we cement our position in the Premier League, we cement our position in the table as it is now, and we'll only do that by investing in January.

“My job is to coach and manage the team and identify areas, identify targets.

“Obviously from the board's point of view, and the owner, is to make some funds available for me to get the most out of that, which I have done right throughout my tenure as manager of the football club."
