Some Sheffield United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the club with Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

According to The Sun, United are interested in signing Phillips from Yorkshire rivals Leeds in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that Blades manager Chris Wilder “fancies” the 24-year-old, who will cost over £20 million.

The report in the British tabloid has credited Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley with interest in the 24-year-old as well.

United are doing well in the Premier League at the moment, and there is a chance that they could end up in the Europa League places or even clinch a Champions League spot.

Although the Blades a strong midfield, if they are playing European football next season, then they will need more players.
