The 37-year-old played for both Sheffield United and Leeds United.
The former Sheffield United and Leeds United striker, Danny Webber, has delivered his verdict on which of the two clubs will finish the season as Championship runners-up.
The Yorkshire rivals have flitted between second and third place in recent months, and it is Leeds who have a two-point advantage ahead of Sheffield United’s game at Birmingham later today (Wednesday).
Chris Wilder’s Blades have only lost once since the middle of January, however, and speaking to Talksport earlier, Webber predicted it is they who will join Norwich – the team seven points clear of third – in the Premier League next term.
“I’d say Sheffield United,” Webber replied when asked which of his former clubs he fancies the most. “I think Chris Wilder’s just got everything. He can replace people. Billy (Sharp) scores goals. You take him out you’ve got (David) McGoldrick, you’ve got (Gary) Madine, everybody pulling in the right direction.
“I think Leeds, whilst it’s going to be very close, they might just struggle with Kemar Roofe, the fact they’ve missed him for the back end of the season. But I’d like to see them both go up.”
Webber played alongside Sharp, who like him also played for Leeds, in two of his four full seasons at Sheffield United.
And it was at Bramall Lane that the Manchester United product had the most success, scoring 26 goals in 123 games and winning promotion to the Premier League under Neil Warnock – his future manager at Leeds.
Will Webber be proved right about Sheffield United and Leeds?
