The switch to the KC Stadium caps a remarkable rise for 20-year-old left-back Robertson, who was on a part-time contract with Queens Park in Scotland’s third tier at the end of the 2012-13 campaign before United spotted his potential.

He arrived at Tannadice in the summer of 2013 and last year was named as the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year.

Robertson made his international debut for Scotland coming on as a second half substitute in a 1-0 win against Poland in March.

Maguire, 21, subject of several failed bids from Wolves earlier in the summer, has been named as the Blades’ player of the year in each of the last three campaigns.
