Sheffield United fans are reacting to Callum Robinson’s admission that he expects to continue his career at Bramall Lane – and not with West Bromwich Albion.

Robinson scored three goals – including the one that clinched West Brom’s promotion back to the Premier League – and created two in his 16 games on loan to the Baggies.

But speaking after Wednesday night’s 2-2 draw with Queens Park Rangers, the Blades’ 2019 recruit from Preston North End told Sky Sports: “The plan is that my team is Sheffield United but I’ve got to wait what happens.

“In the summer, in my head, I will go back to Sheffield United.”

Robinson began the season as a Blades starting regular but fell out of favour ahead of his January move, before which he had scored two goals and created as many.
