EXCLUSIVE: Sheffield United have sounded out Chris Wilder about a return as manager boss once more - with Paul Heckingbottom's position in serious jeopardy after 2-1 defeat at Tottenham leaves them winless in five

Sheffield United are considering a move to bring Chris Wilder back to Bramall Lane after their winless run extended to five games in the late defeat against Tottenham.

Mail Sport understands that Paul Heckingbottom’s position is in serious jeopardy, with United 17th in the table following four defeats and a solitary point against Everton prior to the international break.

Sources say Wilder has already been sounded out about a return to the club, where he achieved great success between 2016 and 2021. In that time, he led them out of League One before securing promotion to the Premier League in 2019.
