Sheffield United are leading the chase to sign Manchester City midfielder James McAtee on loan, sources have told Football Insider.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

McAtee, 20, spent a successful season on loan at Sheffield United last season playing a key role in their promotion to the Premier League and the Blades are keen to bring the creative midfielder back to Bramall Lane for a second spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The likes of Wolves, Leicester and Ajax have all been linked with McAtee<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But Sheffield United are hoping the experience he had with the club last season and how he developed will give them the edge in persuading the player and City that a move back to Yorkshire is the best thing for all parties involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McAtee made 43 appearances across all competitions for the Blades in the 2022-23 campaign, notching nine goals and four assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spell at Bramall Lane was his first away from Man City, where he has spent his entire youth career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as notching 46 goals in 89 games for City’s youth sides, McAtee has also made seven appearances for the treble-winners’ senior side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Salford-born ace has also been capped three times for England’s Under-21’s but was not part of the European Championship-winning side earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McAtee can play in central midfield as well as in a more advanced attacking midfield role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is under contract at Man City until June 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheffield United have already made eight signings this summer following their promotion to the Premier League – including the permanent capture of prolific England Under-21 striker Cameron Archer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blades have, however, lost each of their first three top-flight games after losing star men Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge earlier in the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
