Sheffield United promotion hero Simon Moore could return to Bramall Lane next season after being linked with a move to one of the Blades’ Championship rivals. The 34-year-old, who helped United rise from League One and into the Premier League within the space of three seasons, is a free agent after being released by Coventry City this summer.
Under Sean Dyche, he was unable to keep the team from relegation, which resulted in a loan move to Besiktas in the summer of 2022, after which he signed a loan deal to join Manchester United in January 2023.
He has maintained a solid reputation thanks to his year at Hoffenheim, earning him a spot on Koeman’s team.However, his performances at the European Championship presently could hasten a long-term change.
Even if Turf Moor does not yet have a manager, it is unlikely that the 31-year-old will choose to play in the Championship.
The forward’s deal expires in a year, so Burnley will also want to make sure he doesn’t go to waste in 2025.
In addition to playing backup to Dean Henderson and Aaron Ramsdale in the Championship and Premier League, Moore was a vital component of United’s League One title-winning season, helping the Blades reach 100 points and solidify their place in Blades history. Moore also made an incredible debut in the top flight against Manchester United at an electrifying Bramall Lane.

After United’s Premier League relegation in 2021, he left on a free agent’s contract, hoping to play regular football at age 31. Despite making 46 appearances for Coventry, he lost ground in the standings the previous season. After leaving the Lane, Moore stated, “I’m really amazed at how many messages I’ve received,” in an interview with The Star. It’s quite moving. From the start to the last day, I simply gave the club my all. Along with working hard, I was authentic. I will always be authentic.
“I just consider myself lucky to have been a small part of the success that the club has had over the last five years. It’s something that will probably only sink in properly once I’ve retired but even now, I look at what we’ve done with a lot of happiness and joy. I’m sad to be leaving but at the same time, I’m happy that it went the way it has. Because I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.”
