Players took it in turns to leadchants and Bamford opted to lead fans into a rendition of ‘Wilder is a w****r’, a video doing the rounds on social media has shown.

When Sheffield United were promoted to the Premier League ahead of Leeds in 2019, it was Wilder who was aiming a dig at Bamford.

He said: “We’ve had one defeat in 13 and I’ve got muppets from Leeds talking about the pressure being on us.

“Bamford and [Adam] Forshaw and a couple of others. It’s over to you and this, that and the other.

“They got beat seven times since Christmas. We’ve been beaten once. We’ve set it up from Christmas to be in the race and we’ve steamrolled it.

“After the international break, two points a game. That’s promotion form right the way through in the pressure part of the season.”

Sheffield United could still clinch promotion to the Premier League but will have to do it via the play-offs.
