Sheffield United eye move for Man City’s Phillips

Sheffield United have launched a surprise loan move for Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

The Championship side are working on a deal to sign the former England international before Monday’s 19:00 GMT deadline.

The 30-year-old’s one and only appearance this season came in the final seven minutes of City’s EFL Cup win against Huddersfield in September.

Phillips – who joined City from boyhood club Leeds United in 2022 in a deal worth £45m – has previously been loaned out to Ipswich Town and West Ham United.

In December 2022, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola slammed the midfielder for returning from the World Cup “overweight” and “not in the right condition to train”.
