Despite not being a regular goalscorer for either club, it is believed that Robinson impressed Slaven Bilic and the Croatian boss is considering whether to make a move to sign the former Preston star on a permanent basis.

Chris Wilder knew what he was doing when he shipped him out on loan in January. The signs, then, are already there that the Blades boss feels we can improve in that area of the field.
If United can get their money back on Robinson then it’s a case of no harm done. Sometimes signings don’t work out well for whatever reason and if this is the case with Robinson, he’ll still leave with most Blades fans’ best wishes.
