Sheffield United pair James Wallace and George Long allowed to seek move away from Bramall Lane

George Long started the first four matches of the season in goal for Sheffield United but was dropped for Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Millwall

Blades boss Chris Wilder confirmed midfielder Wallace has spent time on trial at Fleetwood Town to discuss a possible move.

The 26-year-old would join former United winger Martyn Woolford in making the switch across the pennines.

Woolford was one of a number of high-profile departures from Bramall Lane this summer after he was released from his contract earlier this month.

Former Cardiff City and Brentford goalkeeper Long has been allowed to speak to potential suitors after falling out of favour.

Long started in United's first four games of the 2016/17 campaign but was dropped for Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Millwall and replaced by new arrival Simon Moore.

Wilder said: “George came to see us on Monday. He wants to be number one which is understandable. He wants to see what's out there.

“Him and his agent have the opportunity to see which clubs may be interested in him.

"If it's not right for George or right for us, then he will remain our player after the window.”

Wilder also revealed he has also made approaches to sign Wigan Athletic’s Craig Morgan and Millwall midfielder Byron Webster in the last week.
