Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder says they'll give Republic of Ireland defender John Egan every chance to prove his fitness ahead of tomorrow's Premier League clash with Manchester United.
"We're going to give him every chance and leave it until the last minute," Wilder said of Egan's fitness after he picked up a calf strain in Ireland's 1-1 draw with Denmark on Monday.
"Manchester United are one of the most iconic teams in the world, and there will always be an aura surrounding them.
"No matter how their fortunes on the pitch may fluctuate, it's still one of football's true powerhouses that we are talking about whenever we mention their name.
"They are an incredible football club who are just going through a spell right now where they are not having it all their own way.
"That happens in football. But fortunes can fluctuate very quickly in this game and they will find their way back to the top, that's for certain."
"I think they've just won five of their last six games and won three away on the bounce last month, so I think that answers the question.
"This is still Manchester United. They still have world class players. We went over there to play a training match a few weeks ago and I think my players were surprised at the quality of the team they decided to put out for the game.
"And then they brought on a load of talented, young whipper-snappers towards the end when our players were tired. So we know the quality they have right through the squad and we know what to expect."
