Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom will hold talks with Manchester City over the futures of Tommy Doyle and James McAtee.
The City pair spent last season on loan at the Blades as they earned promotion back to the Premier League. Doyle and McAtee were big contributors for United and earned the affection of the Bramall Lane crowd.
Sheffield United are keen to take the pair on loan again next season and want to hold talks with City soon about their plans. No discussions have taken place with either the club or the players yet, with City's treble celebrations taking over.
Asked if he had had contact with City over the pair, boss Paul Heckingbottom told YorkshireLive: “Nothing at the minute, no. They’ve been really busy lately [winning the Champions League at the weekend to complete an historic treble] and you have to respect that.

“They’ve been really busy and you have to respect that. They have had a remarkable season but we want to make sure we can capitalise on that relationship.
“The players know what I think of them, those two lads, and I know what they think of Sheffield United. We will certainly be in dialogue with City over those players, and others who may potentially be of interest to us.”
