The Blades academy graduate has joined Tranmere Rovers on a permanent basis, and some United fans aren’t pleased with the decision.
Sheffield United have confirmed that midfielder Harvey Gilmour has been allowed to join League Two side Tranmere Rovers on a permanent deal.
The 20-year-old spent the first half of the season on loan at the Birkenhead outfit, but has now made the transfer permanent in a move that will keep him at Prenton Park until 2020.
Gilmour is a Blades academy graduate, having been promoted from the Under-18s to the senior setup in 2017, according to Transfermarkt.
However, he leaves Bramall Lane having failed to make a single competitive senior appearance for the South Yorkshire club, although he did feature in the second-half of the pre-season friendly at Stocksbridge Park Steels last July.
In a statement, Sheff Utd confirmed that Gilmour, who has scored three goals and claimed one assist for Tranmere this season, have secured a significant sell-on clause and other clauses from their deal with the League Two outfit.
Here is how some Blades fans reacted to one of their homegrown players departing the Lane on a permanent basis:
Harvey Gilmour’s departure is not the only transfer decision that has upset some United fans this month.
The decision to sign former Sheffield Wednesday striker Gary Madine on loan has also been criticised in some quarters, which has prompted the Cardiff City striker to state that he does not dislike the Blades, as reported by BBC Sport.
