Wilder defended his players following recent comments about their application. The manager stated that such criticism is disrespectful to the culture of the club, according to Football Web Pages. He claimed that the team has fought consistently throughout the 46-game season.
United currently sit 13th in the Championship table, per AiScore. The side has earned 52 points from 37 matches following a recent 1-1 draw against Birmingham City. Wilder returned to the club in September 2025 to replace Ruben Selles after United lost their opening five league fixtures.
Since his return, the manager has helped the team climb from the bottom of the division into mid-table. Wilder previously told the Sheffield Star that he has no intention of leaving and wants to be part of the long-term future at Bramall Lane. The Blades are aiming for a strong finish to the campaign as they remain outside the play-off positions.
