The latest news from Bramall Lane as the club prepares for the new Championship season under Ruben Selles.
Sheffield United are active in the transfer market and have been linked with a reunion with last season’s loan signing Rob Holding from Crystal Palace, but reports suggest he may be headed to the MLS.
Sky Sports reported earlier this week that the Blades and Colorado Rapids were leading the hunt to sign the former Arsenal defender.
According to Graeme Bailey of EFL Analysis, Holding appears to have made his decision, with a move to the United States in the works.
The 29-year-old is anticipated to fly out for a physical shortly after the agreement is finalized.
Holding played 11 games for Sheffield United last season after being left out of Crystal Palace’s team by manager Oliver Glasner.
Reading manager delivers transfer communication regarding player connected to United
Harvey Knibbs of Reading has been linked with a move to the Blades this week after scoring 20 goals and assisting in 43 games in League One last season.
But Royals manager Noel Hunt has spoken out about the player, who has been linked with a move away from the Madejski Stadium, with Oxford United and Portsmouth apparently in the running.
“Harvey is still our player, and he is here, training on the grass,” Hunt told The Reading Chronicle. “He’s in full training, but he spoke with the physios and he’s not quite ready to play at the weekend, but as far as I know, and I haven’t been told otherwise, he’s still a Reading player.
“If something is going to happen, I’d rather it happen sooner so we can plan accordingly and get the squad that will be here as tight as possible. If it is going to happen, it must happen within the next week or so, or we will plan on keeping him here.”
New away kit unveiled
Sheffield United also presented their new away jersey today, which includes a white foundation with gold pinstripes and the Blades badge on the chest in gold.
The kit photoshoot took place in The Crucible, one of Sheffield’s most well-known venues, which hosts the World Snooker Championship.
According to the statement accompanying the kit release, the shirt is “a modern classic that reflects United’s forward momentum under new ownership and direction, while remaining rooted in the club’s enduring legacy.”
The club said the 2025/26 away and third kits are now available for pre-order, with orders shipping the week of August 18. Pre-orders are currently available through United’s online store.
