Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom is confident there's more to come from James McAtee.

The Manchester City loanee is still playing catch-up in terms of fitness, says Heckingbottom.

"Yes, there is more still to come, he's aware of that. We want to get him fitter and stronger," Heckingbottom said. "He had a poor pre-season, missing out on game time and training with a big tour around the world. He needed to find his feet but we need him to come and deliver.

"I thought he has shown glimpses. I really liked his performance against Man United and [against Wolves] he was much better with and without the ball. He was good and a big part of what we did. Everyone knows what I think of him, and he does as well. I want to set high standards for him and he needs to understand that."
