Chris Wilder says Sheffield United will take up the option to keep 'team player' Ben Osborn next season.
The versatile Osborn was part of an excellent midfield performance in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea.The roles he plays means Osborn seldom gets any plaudits, but manager Wilder is fully aware of his value, which is why he does not plan to allow him to leave when his contract expires at the end of the season.The Blades manager reveals it contains an option he plans to exercise.'He's the water carrier, isn't he?' said Wilder. 'He's brilliant.
'But yet again he's one that gives us everything and one we'll be looking at, he's been excellent since I've came in. I know what he's about, he's a team player.'If he plays, he plays and if not he gives his best. Those are the players that are really invaluable to have around the place and do a job, wherever it is.
