Over the weekend, Sheffield United played Burnley in a Premier League match. The playmaker, who was born in Glasgow and moved south of the border after rising through the ranks at Rangers, made his debut in the Premier League for the very first time this season.
On the other hand, forty-five minutes later, Fleck found himself back in the familiar surroundings of the sidelines. His sole contribution was a caution on the half-hour mark, and he was taken off the field at the break with Sheffield United down 2-0 and on the verge of suffering a five-goal thrashing away at the hands of Burnley, a team that had celebrated promotion with them back in the spring.
As the Sheffield Star points out, Fleck’s arrival in the middle of the field was something of a “surprise,” seeing as how his performance was only scored two out of ten. It is possible that this is the final decision that management, who seems to have exhausted all other options, will make. It has been reported by The Guardian that Paul Heckingbottom will be terminated from his position, and he will be succeeded by the one who was responsible for transforming Fleck into a Premier League operator first and foremost.
They go on to say that Wilder will be brought in by aircraft at the earliest possible time.
An opportunity that Rangers-related couple seems to have missed?
In the meanwhile, Fleck is not the only player for Sheffield United who has ties to the region that is located north of the border. Both Auston Trusty and Benie Traore, who went to the Steel City over the summer for a combined total of nine million pounds, were apparently transfer targets for Fleck’s previous employers, Rangers.
