Daniel Farke, the Leeds United boss, has backed Sheffield United for promotion to the Premier League this season after describing his opposite number Chris Wilder as “the best manager” the Blades could have. Farke was speaking after his side took another huge step towards the Championship title by beating the Blades 3-1 at Bramall Lane last night.

Leeds United provided yet more proof of just how serious their title credentials are with second half fightback that brought three points at Sheffield United.

Sheffield United must take their setback against Leeds United on the chin and remain “humble” according to their manager Chris Wilder.
