Sheffield United have endured a terrible start to life under Ruben Selles, as he lost his opening five games of his Blades tenure.

The Spanish manager has now matched their worst start to a league campaign outside the top flight in 30 years, as they lost their opening four Championship matches.

Selles has now opened up about the safety of his managerial job at Sheffield United, already admitting it is out of his control.

Fans have let their feelings be known about his tenure at the club on social media, as they believe it is becoming unlikely he will guide them back to the Premier League.

Things do not appear to be getting any easier now on transfer deadline day, as one of their stars is set to jump from this sinking ship to continue his career elsewhere.

PSV keen on signing Gustavo Hamer

It is understood that PSV are closing in on bringing Sheffield United star Gustavo Hamer to the Netherlands this transfer deadline day.

There is a belief that PSV are in advanced talks with Sheffield United for their Gustavo Hamer, as he looks set to depart the Blades.

The Dutch side had been keen on the creative midfielder earlier in the summer; however, only now are they set to finalise a deal for Hamer.

As per information from our chief football correspondent, Graeme Bailey, EFL Analysis understands that Hamer had told his people in the last week to ‘find him a way out’ of Sheffield United.

He said: “He is not convinced by Ruben Selles, and this led to fresh talks with PSV, who were told of the player’s desire to move.”

Ruben Selles on Hamer

Ahead of pre-season, Ruben Selles made it clear that he wished Hamer would remain at Sheffield United, believing the midfielder to be key to his plans as manager of the Blades and to completing their aim of promotion.

Selles has made his view clear on the future of Hamer, as prior to the Bristol City opener, he stated that he believed it was key to keep his best players.

He said to SUTV: “Hopefully they [Hamer and Michael Cooper] stay with us, and that is my intention.

“The situations with the names you mention are pretty different to the situation with Anel. I never say never in this business because I know how it works, but our intention is to keep our key.”
