Sheffield Utd wary of Man Utd interest in Brooks

Sheffield United starlet Andre Brooks is earning rave reviews for his Premier League displays.

The 20-year-old has been given surprise first team chances by manager Chris Wilder recently.

Having been with the Blades since the age of eight, Brooks is all too aware of the passion that fans have for the team.

Now he is being linked with a move to Manchester United, per British media reports.

"I'm going to nail him on a couple of bits," Wilder stated of the youngster after a recent game against West Ham.

“Because defensively he's got to look after that position. To be that all-rounder, he's got to fill holes as well.

“So we'll critique his performance but I thought that the reception the supporters gave him [after being substituted] must have made the young lad feel 10 foot tall."
