Sheffield United have released midfielder Jairo Riedewald and former England striker Danny Ings. Riedewald, 29, joined the Blades on a short-term deal in October before extending it through to the end of the season in December. Ings, 33, signed on a season-long deal in August and scored twice in 24 appearances. The Blades had already announced that former Everton midfielder Tom Davies would be leaving at the end of the campaign and defender Ben Mee had confirmed his retirement. The Championship club have triggered the one-year option on goalkeeper Adam Davies' contract. Chris Wilder's team finished 13th in the second tier in 2025-26. The departures of Riedewald and Ings will likely impact the team's midfield and attacking options for the upcoming season. Sheffield United will look to rebuild and strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign.
