Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom has pinpointed Manchester City loanee James McAtee's ability on the ball as the key reason for signing him in the summer.
The attacking midfielder is spending the season on loan at Bramall Lane as the Blades try to return to the Premier League. McAtee has admitted that he struggled at first when he moved to Sheffield.
Following a poor performance against Luton Town in August, the 20-year-old had to work hard to work his way into Heckingbottom's plans. Since October, McAtee has become a regular feature once again and he scored only the second goal of his loan spell on Boxing Day as the Blades beat Coventry City 3-1.
