Leicester City have interviewed former Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder in their search for a new manager.

The 57-year-old parted company with the Blades after failing to guide the South Yorkshire club back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

Sheffield United finished third in the Championship table, one place and 10 points short of automatic promotion, and then went on to lose the play-off final to Sunderland at Wembley in May.

Wilder finds himself up against Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl for the vacancy at the King Power Stadium.

While Leicester are said to be admirers of 36-year-old Rohl, there is a release clause in his contract that the Foxes would need to meet to try and bring the German in as Ruud van Nistelrooy's replacement.
