Heading into the final few weeks of the year, it’s safe to say Sheffield United’s season has got off to a good start.
Manager Chris Wilder has been named the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the month, for the second time this season, having also won the award back in September.
The award is further recognition of Wilder’s ability to help the club bounce back after last season’s Premier League relegation. Allowing the Blades to identify themselves as firm contenders for this year’s Championship title.
When asked about the award, Wilder shared his gratitude for the staff at SUFC.
He said: “We’ve got a fantastic group, a really connected group of staff that work tremendously hard together.”
“It always comes out as manager of the month but really it’s team of the month.”
“It’s always a collective.”
Sheffield United’s latest match, which took place on Wednesday night, saw the club take victory in a 1-0 win against Millwall, placing them back up at the top of the table, one point clear of Leeds United.
It was a big moment for 24-year-old Rhian Brewster who scored his first goal since 2022.
Although, the moment came bitter-sweet as he dedicated the goal to his younger cousin Kaylen Dennis, who died on Wednesday.
Brewster paid tribute to Kaylen, taking to Instagram after the match to write: “What a Win on the Road but that was definitely For You KK 👼 Love you Young king, May you rest in peace🤍❤️”.
The Blades are back in action tomorrow at 3pm as they take on Plymouth Argyle.
