Manger Chris Wilder is already taking a pay cut.

Sheffield United's players have followed the lead of their manager Chris Wilder by agreeing to a wage deferral until the end of 2020.

Despite the squad being one of the lowest paid in the Premier League, the move will make it easier for the Bramall Lane club to navigate the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Senior back room staff and chief executive Stephen Bettis have also agreed to a 10 percent deferral for the next six months.
