Sheffield United are working on a move to bring midfielder Kalvin Phillips back to the club on loan for the full season. Phillips has struggled at Manchester City, making just 32 appearances across all competitions. The 30-year-old midfielder has been shipped out on loan on three separate occasions since joining the club in 2022. According to ESPN, Sheffield United are confident of securing a deal for Phillips, who still has two years left on his Manchester City contract. Phillips has a strong connection to the club, having played for boyhood club Leeds United before joining Manchester City. He has also had a stint at Sheffield United in the second half of the 2025-26 season, making just three appearances due to fitness issues. The loan deal would be a significant boost for Sheffield United, who are looking to strengthen their midfield ahead of the new season.
