Sheffield United have received a £200,000 offer from Scunthorpe United for James Hanson ahead of tomorrow’s transfer deadline.

Blades only signed Hanson from Bradford City in January but he has only played 60 minutes of football since helping them to the League One title.

“We’ve had people ask about some of our lads who haven’t been involved much yet,” Blades boss Chris Wilder said.

“We’ve got things we are looking to progress ourselves but obviously there are decisions to be made there as well.”
