Newly promoted Premier League side Sheffield United want to sign Paddy McNair from English Championship club Middlesbrough during this summer’s transfer window.
As per the publication from the stables of Scottish media outlet Football Scotland, Paddy McNair could sign for the Blades this summer if they are able to convince Middlesbrough to part with one of their players.
The Blades will face opposition from Scottish giants Celtic for the player with reports claiming that the Champions League campaigners are planning a £5m for the former Manchester United star.
Sheffield United secured promotion to the Premier League for the new season billed for the second week of August after they finished second at the end of the latest English Championship season.
