Now that Chris Wilder's future as Sheffield United manager has been sorted out, the fans have been reassured and the focus will turn towards next season.

The Blades defied expectations to compete for promotion for most of the year, before eventually falling narrowly short of the play-off zone.

Wilder has laid a superb platform for success next season and they will hope to use their top ten finish as a springboard to launch a play-off bid at the very least next term.

But in order to do so, a summer reshuffle could be on the cards.

A number of fringe players could be sold by the Blades to generate funds to bring in a few fresh faces, who will add quality to their ranks.

Lots of players are at risk of being axed by Wilder this summer and these three peripheral players will need to impress in pre-season or else they will be looking for new clubs.

Heneghan's move to England after impressing for Motherwell has been less than successful.

The 24-year-old defender has played just 59 minutes for the Blades since his summer switch from Scotland.

If the centre-back does not impress Wilder in pre-season, it could be another move this summer for him.

Lavery made the controversial switch from Sheffield Wednesday to Sheffield United but he has failed to live up to expectations.

After scoring just five goals in 36 games over the last two seasons, the former Canada and Northern Ireland youth international is surely heading for the exit door.

The 25-year-old's last chance to impress will be in pre-season, and Rotherham United may fancy taking him permanently after his loan spell in the second half of last season.

Carruthers is rotting away in Sheffield United's reserves.

Having played just 28 games over the last two seasons, the 25-year-old needs to leave for the sake of his own career.

Oxford United want him and they could probably land their man if a fee is agreed.
