Da Silva, who was most recently on Bury’s books, featured for the Sheffield United Under-23s on Monday.
Sheffield United appear to have taken the midfielder, Wealth Da Silva, on trial.
Da Silva was named in the Sheffield United Under-23s’ starting XI for Monday’s game against Crewe Alexandra, and played just over an hour at Stocksbridge.
The 18-year-old Nigerian was most recently on the books of Bury, although it is unclear if he is still employed by the Shakers.
The Bury Times reported in May that Da Silva was one of three youth team players offered professional contracts by the League Two side, but he is no longer listed as a player – at first team level or below – on the club’s official website.
Crewe’s Oliver Finney scored either side of Stephen Mallon’s equaliser to inflict defeat on Sheffield United at Bracken Moor Lane.
