The Blades were said to have demanded £8million for the 30-year-old, who scored 22 goals in 41 appearances last season.

But Blackwell told the club's official website: "Nobody has spoken to me about it."

Blackwell also dismissed claims he is interested in a number of players including Plymouth Argyle midfielder Peter Halmosi.

He added: "We have been mentioned in taking 12 or 13 good named players who are interested in coming to Sheffield United.

"I am looking for good quality players but some of the people who have been mentioned I do not even know their names."

  1. We desperately need to keep Beattie in order not to have another disappointing season. While the Premiership stinks to high heaven and the love of football and true fandom only exists in the Championship and downwards, it is not funny to be toiling alongside Blackpool and Barnsley.....
