Sheffield United would like to re-sign Manchester City loan pair James McAtee and Tommy Doyle next season.
The duo have impressed for the Blades this term, helping them to the brink of promotion to the Premier League while also securing a spot in the FA Cup semi-finals. That has yielded a date with Pep Guardiola's side this weekend meaning McAtee and Doyle are ineligible.
Both will travel to Wembley and watch the last-four contest on Saturday and the pair could yet be representing either club next term. Bramall Lane boss Paul Heckingbottom is keen to retain the midfielders but cannot bring both back on loan should promotion be secured as Premier League loan rules only allow a maximum of one player to be signed from another top-flight club.
