Woodburn set to join Sheffield United on loan from Liverpool

Ben Woodburn is set to join Sheffield United on loan from Liverpool before the start of the Championship season.

Woodburn has impressed during the Reds' pre-season tour of the United States, but is unlikely to see too many first-team minutes this term.

Thus, the Blades are poised to take him on a short-term deal, beating a host of other Championship clubs to his signature.

Aston Villa and Wigan Athletic both approached Liverpool over the possibility of acquiring Woodburn, while Hull City were also interested.
