Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink hopes Sheffield United leave Daniel Jebbison at Burton Albion for season after recall option admission

Jebbison’s strike, in a 2-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers at the Pirelli on Saturday, followed confirmation from new Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom that he would review all United’s loans ahead of the January window.

Jebbison’s loan deal in Staffordshire contains a recall clause in January, with speculation over a return to Bramall Lane fuelled further because Heckingbottom was Jebbison’s U23 manager at United and the man who gave him his Premier League debut towards the end of last season.

That chance saw him become a history maker, as the youngest player in the competition’s history to score on his full debut after notching the winner away at Everton, and many Blades fans are keen to see the 18-year-old return in January.

“There is [a recall option] and, no, they [United] haven’t been in touch,” Hasselbaink confirmed.

“It’s something I can’t control. We would love to keep him in January but we will see. Hopefully, for his education and development, he needs to play.

“Obviously, they have a new manager now, who was in charge of the under-23s, so he knows him very well.

“But they also have a lot of strikers so, hopefully, they will do a good thing and leave him with us.
