The Latics are also said to have turned down separate bids from unnamed clubs for midfielder Sam Morsy, another to have been linked with the Blades.

The pair only moved to the DW Stadium in January, from Crewe Alexandra and Chesterfield respectively, and helped fire Gary Caldwell’s side to the League One title.
However, neither player has started a league game this season, with midfielders Alex Gilbey, Jordi Gomez, Shaun MacDonald and Nick Powell all arriving at Wigan in the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, Sheffield United are desperate to add to their squad, which is currently propping up the third tier after four matches.
Blades boss Chris Wilder
The Blades have released wingers Ryan Flynn, Jamal Campbell-Ryce and Martyn Woolford this summer, and Colclough would further strengthen Chris Wilder’s side out wide, following Mark Duffy’s prior arrival.
21-year-old Colclough, who can operate on either flank, has scored twice in 12 appearances for Wigan, following 13 strikes in 68 Crewe outings.
