Sheffield United concede they face un uphill struggle to land summer target

The Manchester United youngster was one of Slavisa Jokanovic’s leading targets last summer, after identifying a lack of width within Bramall Lane’s first team squad as a weakness which needed addressing to enhance its promotion prospects.

As The Star reported earlier this week, Jokanovic would still like to recruit a winger when the market reopens despite seeing Morgan Gibbs-White, on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, make a flying start to his career in South Yorkshire.
