Sheffield United owner Prince Abdullah insists the presence of Jan Van Winckel on the board isn't a threat for manager Chris Wilder.

The Saudi prince won an 18-month-long legal battle with fellow co-owner Kevin McCabe over the club's ownership on Monday.

On the role of Belgian coach and board director Van Winckel, he said: "He has one of the best eyes for talent.

"He told me to buy Yaya Toure when he was (playing) in Belgium.

"I will use him but Chris is the face of the club and his decisions about the first team are the decisions we will go with."
