Billy Sharp played for Leeds United during the 2014-15 season before returning to Sheffield United for his third spell with the Blades.

Sharp struggled to make an impact during his time at Leeds, who sold the striker to Yorkshire rivals United in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £500,000.

The 32-year-old has been superb for the Blades since his move to Bramall Lane and has established himself as a key figure for the team.

The striker featured for United in their Championship game against Leeds at Bramall Lane.

Sharp started the game and played for the entire 90 minutes, but the former Southampton striker failed to make a massive impact.

According to WhoScored, the 32-year-old took one shot, had a pass accuracy of 76.9%, won three headers, and made two key passes.

Leeds fans were not impressed with the performance of Sharp, and thought that 20-year-old central defender Aapo Halme kept him quiet, as the following posts on Twitter show.
