da bet nacional： Sheffield Star reporter Danny Hall has given Blades midfielder Luke Freeman a glowing review following his performance against AFC Fylde in their FA Cup third-round tie on Sunday afternoon.
What’s he said?
da stake casino： Sheffield United defeated their non-league opposition 2-1 thanks to goals from Callum Robinson and Leon Clarke as manager Chris Wilder made 11 changes to the side that lost to Liverpool last time out.
Several fringe players were handed an opportunity to impress while there was even a debut for recent signing Jack Rodwell.
Following the match, Hall handed the squad their ratings for the match with Luke Freeman impressing the most with a squad-high eight. He said:
“Luke Freeman – 8.
“Nice step-over and cross for Robinson’s opening goal and was inches away from scoring himself in the second half, but his shot came off the inside of the post and Clarke stuck it away.”
Should he stay or go?
The 27-year-old has been limited to just nine Premier League appearances this campaign, playing just 322 minutes at an average of just over 35 minutes per game. He’s completed just one full match, via Transfermarkt.
His lack of game time this season has led to subsequent transfer interest from the Championship’s front-runners Leeds United, who would reportedly like to bring him on loan to bolster their promotion chances this month, as per Alan Nixon of The Sun.
Freeman only joined the Blades this summer in a club-record deal from Queens Park Rangers where he scored eight goals from midfield last term.
Therefore, it seems hard to believe that Wilder would give up on the maestro just yet, and this latest showing certainly shows why he should be kept around this season.
The one time he played the full 90 minutes in the top-flight, WhoScored handed him a season-high 7.02 rating but that has only been one of three starts.

Wilder doesn’t have too many options in the attacking midfield role so it would be wise to reject any advances for him this month, and in addition to that, his versatility could prove to be crucial – something the United boss highlighted when he arrived in the summer.
