Lys Mousset has to work on his physical condition to become a regular starter, said Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder after the striker scored for a second successive game to earn a point at West Ham.

The 10m summer signing began from the bench for a sixth league game this season despite scoring the winner against Arsenal last Monday in his first start.

The Blades boss said: "We have got to get him up to speed and we have got to work on his condition.

"After scoring the winner against Arsenal he should have been a shoo-in to start today, but we felt he needed a couple more days to recover, so kept him on the bench.

"He has showed us his talent in glimpses, but he can certainly be a threat in this division."
