Alex Neil’s side held their own for the opening 30 minutes before Dan Neil was shown a straight red card and defender Anel Ahmedhodzic headed the hosts ahead.

The Blades then made it 2-0 shortly after half-time after a close-range finish from Max Lowe. Sunderland responded well and pulled one back through Lynden Gooch but weren’t able to take anything from the game.

The 73-year-old stated that he had been taking a look at Charlie Wyke for Middlesbrough while he was a Sunderland player but was more impressed with Ross Stewart.
