Pep Guardiola's Blessing
James McAtee, the Salford Silva, is hoping to make a return to Sheffield United on loan. He played a key role in helping the Blades win promotion last season. McAtee is now back at Manchester City, and although the club would prefer to send him to a top-half Premier League side, McAtee is keen on a move to United.
City's Preferred Destination
Pep Guardiola would prefer to send McAtee on loan to either a top European club or a top-half Premier League team. City fear that a move to a struggling side would not suit his style and development. McAtee, on the other hand, has expressed his interest in joining Sheffield United, where manager Paul Heckingbottom has been waiting for the opportunity to bring him in.
McAtee's Impressive Performance
Last season, McAtee scored nine goals and provided three assists as the Blades secured promotion from the Championship. His talent and contributions on the field have caught the attention of both Sheffield United and Manchester City.
The Approval of Guardiola
McAtee has not had direct conversations with Pep Guardiola regarding a potential loan move. The City manager has been busy with various commitments, including celebrating the club's treble. However, Guardiola has encouraged McAtee to focus on his preseason training and work hard to improve.
The Game against Sheffield United
During Manchester City's recent 2-1 victory over Sheffield United, McAtee was on the bench but did not make an appearance on the field. Despite the outcome of the match, McAtee's desire to join Sheffield United remains strong.
