Hornets manager Brendan Rodgers admitted the Blades had not been in contact about making the move permanent.

O'Toole was in good form at Bramall Lane, scoring one goal in nine appearances before ruptured ankle ligaments ended his season prematurely in April - causing him to miss the play-offs.

Although the Blades are not short in the midfield department, they may yet return for the talented Republic of Ireland Under-21 international having sold several squad players.

But Rodgers told the Watford Observer: "We haven't heard anything from Sheffield United and he will be back with Watford."
