How can you not consider a player who has scored the most goals in English football this century?

Edging ever closer to the magic 250 goals mark in terms of that statistic alone, Sharp continues to defy the odds and fired United to promotion with 23 goals last season.

Often referred to by away fans as being overweight and taking his fair share of stick for it, Sharp has embraced those fan jibes and seemingly used it as motivation - especially in the last couple of seasons.

The Sheffield born self-confessed Blades fan will be desperate to fire his hometown and boyhood club to success in the top-flight as he looks to prove on a personal level he can do it at the very pinnacle of the game.

Sharp faces a battle on his hands to hold of the likes of big money signings Callum Robinson and OIi McBurnie, but he has done it before and if recent history is anything to go by, he'll do it again.
